Just enjoyed cycling 20km on traffic-free routes. Absolutely love that I can now spend a sunny evening like this. This route is possible because: ✅ Several access control barriers have been removed ✅ My ICE Trikes recumbent is built for it. Life changing ♥️
A really important discussion on ensuring we define #ActiveTravel in ways that include modes frequently used by & often essential to #Disabled people, by Wheels for Wellbeing trustee Dr Harrie Larrington-Spencer, Dr Harrie Larrington-Spencer :
Great to see Active Travel England's video featuring a tricyclist & some other non-standard cycles. While cycling is rarely cheap for #Disabled people, it definitely offers healthy, fun & independent transport & mobility. #InclusiveCycling #MyCycleMyMobilityAid youtube.com/watch?v=XjLIvl…
Our Campaigns and Policy Manager Dr Kay Inckle was out in #Liverpool with Terri from RNIB and BBC North West filming some of the access barriers for #Disabled cyclists and pedestrians in the city, including Bold Street, pictured below.
@ Wheels for Wellbeing, we're alarmed abt reports that e-cycles might be banned by NHS, TfL and other organisations. To do so would be a discriminatory response to a low fire risk that will disproportionatly impact #Disabled people. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/e-cycles-fire-…
@Wheels for Wellbeing , we're worried that this proposal discriminates against #Disabled ppl. Often we need e-assist on cycles we use to get to town centre shops, which often will be too far to walk from the edge of the ban area. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid echo-news.co.uk/news/24456530.…
If you are near Camberwell this Sunday, 18th Aug, and fancy a fun afternoon with food, music and #InclusiveCycling, we are joining MyattsFieldsPark for their community connections festival. More details here: facebook.com/myattsfieldspa…
Latest Streets Ahead pod with Laura Laker is fascinating. Notably Louise Haigh saying “e-scooters are enormously liberating for...people with mobility issues–that’s not been thought through”. As specialists in Active Travel for #Disabled ppl we hope to contribute to the thinking.
Wishing Lexi Alyx Chambers 🏳️🌈🇬🇧 all the very best with her challenge to wheel from John O'Groats to Land's End in a standard wheelchair, which she starts next week! sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/perso…
Brilliant to hear Kier Starmer saying that transport #accessibility for #Disabled people should be a "basic right". We're keen to work with the new government to improve transport accessibility so all Disabled people can make the journeys we want & need to.
