Belfast boy with Down Syndrome gets 'life-changing' adapted bike

A boy from Belfast with Down Syndrome has received a "life-changing" adapted bike that will allow him to enjoy the feeling of riding a bike safely once again.

10-year-old Jack Simpson is described by his mum, Shauneen, as "a caring wee boy", and has always loved being on a bike since infancy, but had outgrown the baby-seat his dad, Tony, was using to take him cycling.

But now, Jack is able to take part in that hobby safely once more, thanks to support from charity Children Today who helped him get an adapted bike.
