Recovering from Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, lower limb disabilities, still cycling.

Spent the day measuring barriers and gates as part of a #disability review. Size and design of barriers varies, even on the same path. Gaps are preferable to gates and 1.5m should be the legal minimum.

So much of the conversation about cycling assumes two wheels and lycra. But it’s far broader. For many Disabled people, cycling is mobility. Trikes, recumbents, handcycles, e-bikes, tandems can be aids to freedom and independence.
In this clip, Wheels4Me loan recipient, Jeremy tells us how having access to cycling has helped him reconnect with his family & get back to doing things that were important to him.

This week I was appointed Chair of the @ruils.bsky.social Transport and Mobility Forum, featured in @adamtranter.bsky.social newsletter and cycled the 40km round trip into work for a walkabout with the CEO of Lambeth Council #disabillity

As well as a good overview of all the latest cycling advocacy stories around e-bikes, it's fantastic to see our video of Jeremy talking about how he benefited from the WheelsForMe free loan scheme is 'Interesting graph(ic) of the week'!

"The current regulations are nearly 40 years old and do not account for the devices people need to use".

Find out why we’re so excited that the Government has announced it's planning to review mobility aid law to make it fit for purpose.

Hi @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk @benwheels.bsky.social could you help with this response about some no cycling signs & barrier widths on this alley. Does a PROW have a different legal definition to a footway? Are there national standards on barriers widths?

First laps of Richmond Park since getting #sepsis in July 2023. Riding a new Ice Trike Adventure with Shimano Steps motor. It's a great ride although still making adjustments and understanding how it rides. #disability
