Tomcat was set up in 1998 to enable people with learning or sensory impairments to cycle.   

At that time, disability trikes were only suitable for people with physical difficulties – shutting out a huge proportion of the disabled community.  With the aim of including the excluded, Tomcat created safe cycling solutions for all. Our mission now is to ensure that no physical limitation or learning difficulty is ever a barrier to taking part in and enjoying cycling.  No one should feel confined within the four walls of their home.
