In 2004, inspired while working as a cycle trainer for Sally Haywill’s in-school cycling scheme STAbikes, Jo started her own group: a cycling club for people with learning disabilities from moderate to profound and complex. Over the years she has built up a fleet of bicycles for all ages and abilities, include fixed wheel tricycles, tandems, the Finnish-designed kickbikes and even a Dutch velo that can carry a wheelchair.

In 2016, Jo was awarded a British Empire Medal at Buckingham Palace in recognition of her work. She is also a poet!
