Simple Cycling provides more than 180 bicycles, tricycles and hand-operated cycles adapted from reclaimed equipment such as wheelchairs and wheelbarrows to users of all abilities for £2 each.

Michael Balshine, Whitefield Hebrew Congregation youth director, said two school trips during the summer sparked the interest.

"Suddenly there was this influx of Jewish kids going who came back and said they had a great time, so then out of nowhere, just through word of mouth, you had hundreds of Jewish families attending this cycling place," he said.

Ms Blaylock approached Jonny Wineberg, Manchester Jewish Representative Council chair, for help, but said she was not clear on how to resolve the issue.

"We just need to look at all the options to keep it lovely, rather than a bit of a battle."
