Good that @Wheels4Well could help get wheelchair returned that @metpoliceuk had impounded. @FrankRGardner used/used a similar wheel chair powered attachment Frank do you have the chief constable in your contacts book? Can you have a word with them? salamandernews.org/police-impound…

Deeply moving video of the effect Long COVID can have on mobility and quality of life. We were privileged to speak to Darren earlier in his diagnosis about utility cycling (wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/my-cycle-my-mo…) and we're sorry to see this latest update. theguardian.com/society/video/…

This is so good to see. In my research, older adults always express desire to walk & wheel more from their front doors. Fab to have @BeyondEmpowerUK supporting this LAs need to address the infra: - pavement parking - poor quality pavements - crossing points - dropped kerbs

Infrastructure is critical. “Just squeeze through these barriers”, “just step over that kerb” might ‘just’ be impossible for a disabled person. We campaign for infrastructure that meets all our needs, leaving none behind. #ActiveTravel #MobilityJustice sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A superb short piece from our Trustee @tricyclemayor on the essential need to manage ‘access frictions’ alongside inclusion needs in inclusive design. Prescient in light of current discussions on bus stop bypasses. Please read and consider sharing! doi.org/10.1111/newe.1…

We intend to change that!

Cycling UK@WeAreCyclingUK

🧵 1/2. According to today's transport stats, cycling continued to account for just 1% of all kilometres travelled in Great Britain in 2023. Together, we can change that! By making cycling a bigger part of everyday journeys, we can create cleaner, greener, healthier communities.
