The Bike Experience is a charity that teaches and advises motorcyclists who have been disabled how they can ride again，through the provision of an adapted and modified motorcycle，which will allow them to ride in a safe environment using a logical stepbystep process.
The Bike Experience was formed in April 2011，as there was no project in existence that taught disabled motorcyclists how to ride.
Over a period of five years，the initial idea has become a registered charity.Over 75 disabled motorcyclists have learned to ride again and the concept has started to influence the motorsport world.
In March，2003，Talan SkeelsPiggins，the founder of the charity，was knocked off his motorcycle and thrown under the path of the oncoming traffic.The accident left him paralyzed (瘫痪的)from the chest down and he thought he would never ride a motorcycle again.Eight years later，Talan was back riding a motorbike on UK track days and felt the importance of teaching others how to do the same.Talan says，“When I am riding，I do not feel disabled.I feel free from my wheelchair，and I enjoy the sense of excitement and independence just as I used to.Getting to this point has been a struggle，but it has been worth it.I wanted to help other disabled motorcyclists have the fantastic feeling of being back on a bike，without the falls and setbacks I suffered，so The Bike Experience Charity was established.”
In addition to getting riders back on two wheels，The Bike Experience charity aims to：
●Help the individuals who take part develop a positive attitude.
●Advise participants how to buy their own bike，adapt it and ride independently and safely.
●Improve the participant's physical health，balance，coordination，strength and stamina(耐力).
●Evolve attitudes in the motorcycling world so that disabled motorcycle riding motorcycles can be considered possible，feasible and acceptable.
