Given TFL is the major service provider of buses, trains and is responsible for thousands of miles of pavements and roads the transport section of this strategy is missing huge swathes of actions. #disability

Day 4 of my #Sepsis journey. I had am connected to #ECMO, the source of my infection is confirmed as #StrepA, & I develop #CompartmentSyndrome, requiring emergency surgery. I am fundraising for an adapted #mtb so me & Arthur can hit the trails, like we used to. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Day 3 of my #Sepsis Journey on this day in 2023. Given a 10% chance of survival or 30% on #ECMO, Hannah made the decision and I was transferred to the Royal Brompton. You can support my fundraiser here www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

3 years ago today, on 28 July 2023, I started to feel unwell with #sepsis. This video shares my memories from those first 24 hours. We're also fundraising for an adapted mountain bike so Arthur and I can get back to doing what we love most—riding together. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

We have launched an Instagram profile to highlight the work of the @ruils.bsky.social Transport and Mobility Forum. Our first video is about removing gates and barriers to parks in Richmond, SW London. @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk #disability www.instagram.com/reel/DWi0kwA...

Celebrating a win at Craneford Way Recreation Ground! We successfully campaigned for @richmond_council to remove an unnecessary gate into the park that was limiting access for #Disabled people and those using mobility aids. Now that the gate is gone, all can easily access the park - wheelchair users, those using adapted bikes, cargo bikes, families with prams and more. We’re calling on the council to evaluate all gates and barriers in the borough to see if there is potential to remove them to improve access. No one should be locked out of their local park.#accessibility #disabledaccess #parks #greenspace

@paulluton.bsky.social Hi Paul, this sign on the 316 by the subway. What is the route and where does it start and finish. I assumed it's LCN32 but no information online. Also seen it described as part of the LCN+ routes

Take, accept and celebrate the wins. My first full lap of Richmond Park in 39 minutes. Whist this journey is painful, both physically and mentally there are always opportunities to celebrate and be thankful for what I have left. #Cycling #disability

Cross referencing Richmond council draft dropped kerb policy vs @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk design guidance. Am I right in saying that the council's proposed 0.6m slope does not meet the recommend 1.2m slope? Any guidance on this is appreciated @benwheels.bsky.social @isabelleclementmbe.bsky.social

A big achievement today, cycling through Richmond Park with only a small amount of e-assist. Following months in ICU in 2023 and countless major operations my body is repairing itself and riding my Ice Trike has played a crucial role in this process. @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk

Still time to fill in the Richmond #Transport & Mobility Forum survey. We want to hear from Disabled people about their experience with transport and getting around in #RichmondBorough & how it can be better! Take the survey online here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/TWJ69GJ

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.

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'! www.bikeis.best/p/the-big-su...

"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. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #MyCycleMyMobilityAid

She is drawn with light brown skin and long brown hair in a ponytail and wearing a dark blue dress that comes close to her knees. She is wearing sunglasses and reaching forward, holding onto the handlebar of the power add-on. The front casters of her orange-coloured wheelchair are lifted slightly by the light blue power add-on. Behind the lightweight wheelchair, a quite large bag is visible hanging down behind the back of the wheelchair.Screenshot of a tweet from Simon Lightwood MP. Jul 21.

That’s why we’re extending e-scooter trials to 2028 and expanding them to new towns to learn how best to regulate them.

We’re also looking at our mobility aid laws so disabled people can use the devices they need for independence." Accompanied with a photo, the alt text for which was "Hire escooters parked in a line in a designated parking area", image attribution Department for Transport.

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? www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/alle...

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
