"I’m really pleased that we’re able to give a helping hand to thousands of kids" - Geraint Thomas about his charity project Trust

Geraint Thomas, winner of the 2018 Tour de France, has revealed that the charity he set up following his yellow jersey success has helped get thousands of kids, many of them disabled or from disadvantaged backgrounds, cycling.
"This is exactly why we set up the Trust in the first place," Thomas said at recent fundraising event. "I was always so lucky that I had a bike and also that I had a track just around the corner from my house. But not everyone is that fortunate. That’s why I’m really pleased that we’re able to give a helping hand to these brilliant projects which get children and young people on bikes."

"We have deliberately targeted projects for children and young people who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to enjoy cycling," Thomas added.
"We know that there are huge benefits for those who cycle but we also know there are still barriers," Trust’s chair, Adrian Coles adds. "Not everyone can afford a bike or has the skills to repair one. Not everyone has somewhere to store a bike or know how to ride safely. And there are those who require adaptive bikes which tend to be more expensive."
