How disabled are we talking?

Swinnertons up at Cannock have a big trike thing that you can hire, but at the same time the rider still needs to be able to ride it themselves. It just makes for a very stable ride.

Does the local coucil have a disability activity scheme my council has and they have trikes for hire they are only suitable for cycle tracks though they weigh a fair bit. 2 of us nearly ended up needing a truss lifting it over a too narrow gate at Rivington.

I don't think they do hire but they do have roadshows etc where you can try them out.
