The facilities are set to open in the spring and will add to the current network of six hubs, opened last year.

They will be hosted at the Herne Hill Velodrome and Lee Valley VeloPark, the venue for track cycling events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

British Cycling claim more than 1,000 riders visited one of the hubs in 2016 and they hope the new facilities "will help to provide more accessible coaching at inspiring cycle sport sites in the capital".

"British Cycling opening a couple of new disability hubs in the spring is a really exciting opportunity because it is promoting disability sport and cycling," Megan Giglia, who won the C3 individual pursuit event at last year's Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, said.

"I coach at them and it's fantastic that it's growing all the time and it allows people that haven't had the opportunity to socialise or compete to find a new sport and find some potential in themselves."

Disability hub sessions are organised and delivered by British Cycling coaches at dedicated cycling facilities, offering support for people with disabilities to improve their fitness, technique and confidence.

They are suitable for people who wish to try out the sport for the first time, while they can also be used by athletes who are recovering from injury.

Equipment such as handcycles, tandems, trikes and bikes to support a range of impairments is provided during the sessions.

"The opening of these disability hubs in London is a great addition to the brilliant work already being done at the other hub locations across the country," Britain's Para-cycling performance pathway manager John Lenton said.

“The performances of riders like Megan and the Great Britain cycling team at the Paralympics and World Championships were fantastic and it's absolutely vital that anyone inspired by their performances who would like to give the sport a try has the opportunity to do so."
