Great to be a part of these discussions about improving walking/wheeling & cycling access across the UK. There's so much enthusiasm and need for accessible provision so all #Disabled people can make the journeys we want and need to.

🥳On May 26th, our fantastic Campaigns & Policy Manager @KayInckle will be handcycling the @RideLondon 30miles & fundraising for us in the process! Please donate to support her (& us) if you possibly can 🙏🙏: 2024fordridelondon.enthuse.com/pf/kay-inckle?…
Summer is coming. Some of you will be thinking about taking on long challenge rides and runs. If you're looking to raise money through sponsorship, and need an amazing cause you can support, do think about @Wheels4Well and the great work they do for inclusive cycling
A helpful synopsis of some of the issues discussed in last night's meeting on proposed changes to e-assist pedal cycle regulations.
A helpful synopsis of some of the issues discussed in last night's meeting on proposed changes to e-assist pedal cycle regulations.
What are Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), & why are we concerned about their use? Find out about PSPOs & how they can affect #Disabled people's access in our latest guide sheet: #MyCycleMyMobilityAid wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wheels-for-wel…
Disappointing to see people who claim to advocate for #Disabled #Equality supporting retention of discriminatory barriers which exclude many Disabled people using wheelchairs, mobility scooters, cycles & other aids. Find out more: wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/our-campaigns/… #MyCycleMyMobilityAid
All sorts of points around e-assist pedal cycles discussed at today's APPGCW event: Campaigns and Policy officer Kate spoke here & will be at Cycling@Teatime tomorrow talking on the same topic: E-cycles are so important for many #Disabled people - getting regulation right matters

@Wheels4Well @timbo_61 @SuttonsBOGI @4ChordsNoNet @SuttonCouncil @cyclinginsutton @TobySpearpoint Having ridden a triplet for the first time a few weeks ago I can attest to this. The other challenge is the length and turning circle which many barriers overlook. Time to #BashTheBarriers
@CdffCycleCity @cardiffcouncil We’ve had considerable success in Merthyr with removing the barriers. Council officers with a desire to create equal access and set aside police objections is key.
@petitecycliste @Wheels4Well Lots of ways. Less extreme and more common example: My 84 year old mum uses her e-bike daily. She would seriously struggle to wheelie it through that barrier even without luggage. The worst thing: Those barriers don't actually stop scrambler bikes.
@Fishnpeas @Wheels4Well That's not remotely true. Many of these block larger chairs and mobilit scooters, and even when they don't, steering a powerchair through a gap with less than an inch of clearance either side is no mean feat.
@benjyminty @QM2fan @Wheels4Well Spot on. The only organisation that can put such a barrier on a right of way is the highway authority, using Section 66 of the 1980 Highways Act. Anyone else is criminally obstructing highway. All highway authorities have statutory duty under Equality Act to avoid discrimination
@Murielschild @Wheels4Well It not right you have to go through that
@Wheels4Well But what if you can't get off and wheel your bike through? How does this work for wheelchairs and mobility scooters?
@Wheels4Well It's almost as if leading anti-LTN campaigners' purported concerns about disability access is completely facile...🤔
@simonjcalvert @Wheels4Well 'A frames are access barriers designed to prevent vehicles such as motorcycles and mopeds from accessing footpaths and cycle routes. However, they are often ineffective at stopping motorbikes from getting onto the routes.' sustrans.org.uk/about-us/paths…
@MOFballs @Wheels4Well It's not a tough call - no-one would dream of denying able bodied people access to public spaces in order to guard against the risk of anti social behaviour. Deal with the miscreants
A chance to work for an organisation dedicated to making cycling more inclusive ⬇️
🚨 JOB ALERT 🚨 Inclusive Cycling Advisor Closing date: May 3rd. Pls pass it on!! #Inclusive #Cycling #JobAlert #SmallCharityBigImpact #MobilityJustice #BeyondTheBicycle
Work, trustee, personal dev and medical appts done. I’m having the weekend to myself. Exhausted. Grateful for those who extended positivity. I remember everything. See you on the flipside.
This helpful tactile way-finder guides you over the bridge just off Trinity Way, Manchester It can be picked up visually, underfoot or by white white cane to guide your route and avoid the surrounding infrastructure It’d be nice to see similar used more widely on our streets
Summer is coming. Some of you will be thinking about taking on long challenge rides and runs. If you're looking to raise money through sponsorship, and need an amazing cause you can support, do think about @Wheels4Well and the great work they do for inclusive cycling
London. One 30sec snapshot. Imagine if every UK town and city moved around like this.
Live now 🚨🚲 We discuss the DfT’s proposed changes to e-bike legislation, increasing motor power to 500W and removing the need to pedal via use of a throttle. Speakers include @Wheels4Well @pedalmeapp @BromptonBicycle @BicycleAssoc youtube.com/live/m7zee72mZ…
@Wheels4Well Excellent submission. We should hope they take notice of your thoughtful analysis. @pushbikesbcc submitted a response, echoing a number of your points.
@Wheels4Well @timbo_61 @4ChordsNoNet @SuttonCouncil @cyclinginsutton @TobySpearpoint Even just a QR code which links to the local police reporting website or email could be cheap, affordable action for local groups campaigning against antisocial behaviour.
@Wheels4Well @timbo_61 @SuttonsBOGI @4ChordsNoNet @SuttonCouncil @cyclinginsutton @TobySpearpoint As a minimum those who walk, wheel or ride need parity with vehicles from an infrastructure perspective. We are currently a long way from that.
