This morning Ben Foley was at the "Beyond fare" event in Parliament, which aims to end the patchwork of poor provision for Disabled people's bus passes. It gave Ben an opportunity to talk to MPs @tomgordonld.bsky.social, @rachaelmaskell.bsky.social @stevedarlingmp.bsky.social
and Julian Lewis.

Along with more than 50 other organisations, we have signed a letter to the Transport Secretary asking for the cycling and walking investment strategy to be more ambitious than it is.

Active travel should have a clear, long-term, fully deliverable national plan.

Where would you go?

This Summer, one of our former loan recipients took herself on her first solo trike adventure on a trip up to Edinburgh with her Van Raam Easy Rider Compact.
A title reading 'A Trike Trip to Edinburgh' above a city scape of Edinburgh with the view of spires and stone buildings. In the lower foreground, a young woman gives a thumbs up on a maroon, semi-recumbent, Van Raam Compact tricycle. There are stickers of a train and a black taxi on the left hand side and the Wheels4Me Cycle Loan scheme logo in the bottom left a notebook style background with tape at the top- writing reads, “My trip to Edinburgh Fringe Festival with my trike was one of the best things I ever done.” There is the same photo of Susie in a polaroid style photo frame below and the Wheels4Me Cycle Loan scheme logo in the top right corner. notebook style background with tape at the top- writing reads, “A lot of people may have seen my journey of getting my own trike. I love it! It’s my mobility aid and my transport. I travelled from London Euston cycled there after working at the Croydon session. I have done so much with my trike even when I was part of the loan scheme.” There is the another photo of Susie on her maroon trike in a polaroid style photo frame below, this time with her arms crossed and wearing black leggings and the Wheels4Me Cycle Loan scheme logo in the top right corner.

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme.

We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Y’day I posted about Sir Oswald Mosley’s pro-Nazi British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Some comments on Facebook expressed support for Mosley and his ideology. I know you can’t really reason with people who will publicly support fascism but this is what Mosley’s ideology did to Southampton:
