Many children tell us they want to walk or cycle to school but they are currently deprived of that choice because they don’t feel safe.
This week in Westminster, I led a debate on how we can make our streets safer and give children the freedom to travel actively to school.

We learned from meeting stroke survivors after their 12-week rehab programme. Cycling, two-wheeler or with adapted cycles can be really beneficial. Here’s our volunteer Kevin coaching a survivor. Looking forward to offering a taster session soon, maybe a scheme. #nhs #harrow @lwhcharity.bsky.social

Thanks so much to Liz Sheridan, here with volunteer Darren, donating to us the trike which was used by her mother till the age of 99! Who says older people can't cycle? This will be much-appreciated by people using our #wheelsforall service. #inclusion #disability #beyondthebicycle #olderpeoplerock

Thanks @cyclinguk.bsky.social for bringing women’s needs to the fore. If women cycle, everyone cycles. It’s not just traffic engineers who are mostly male - elected council portfolio holders who manage roads, likewise.
📣 Women put off cycling by safety fears and intimidating drivers – study finds.
Great to see @theguardian.com spotlighting what women cyclists already know: the roads don’t feel safe.
We’re calling for change with #MyRideOurRight

This is fascinating - well worth watching. We certainly see motonormativity in #Harrow!
This was such a great chat. Relive the thrills and spills of my motonormativity discussion here
We had a great lunchtime chat with @ianwalker.bsky.social chatting about Motornormativity: our shared bias that prevents society from judging motorized transportation rationally.

Such a great scheme. One of the key barriers to using adapted cycles is cost. Hope people in #Harrow will be able to take it up too. @communityconnex.bsky.social
