We have complained to @merseyrail.bsky.social and @metromayorsteve.bsky.social about the ban on non-folding e-cycles. It especially harms #Disabled and older people who need e-assist for essential journeys. We support @cyclinguk.bsky.social’s campaign to overturn the ban. #AccessFail #TakingTheDis

It's certainly not consultancy fees, which is frustrating given this is asking Disabled people to provide significant expertise. But, as you say, it is much better than so many roles out there. There is also money set aside for interpreters, extra carer hours etc to meet group member access needs.

The further a journey is, the more barriers Disabled people will usually face to completing it. Moving about in our own homes is usually much easier than making a longer trip around our own communities. Her are some of the barriers many Disabled people experience. What barriers do you face?

A very busy graphic showing, from top to bottom, increasing distance required for activities from tens to hundreds to thousands of metres per trip and a range of the cumulative barriers likely to be encountered on increasing length trips.

From shortest to longest, activities are moving around own home, moving from home to car/taxi, getting to a bus stop, getting to/around a supermarket/hospital, attending work/education - moving within organisation sites plus commute using public transport, taking children out to nursery/school/activities and play including carrying tired/Disabled children, taking part in local democracy, eg. Standing for election, canvassing, walkabouts, campaigning.

Associated with the activities cumulative from top to bottom are stairs, broken lift, narrow doors, limited manoeuvring space, need to make trips in tight timeframes, narrow/obstructed paths, need to be supported &/or support others, few fixed supports, difficult weather- wind/ice/heat/rain, poor/uneven surfaces, injury risk from drivers, need to carry items/equipment longer distances, risk of harassment/abuse, inaccessible bus stop, inaccessible bus, risk of falling on moving public transport, noise, crowds, need to address workplace inaccessibility conflicting with need to maintain good relationships with those in power, organisational expectations including timings, personal appearance etc, support needs of children, moving on unmade surfaces (grass, bark, gravel, mud), need to approach many private, often inaccessible homes, increased risk of harassment/abuse.

We were delighted to welcome Cllr Laura Sessions (Active Travel Lead at Lewisham Council) at our Ladywell Inclusive Cycling Hub. She got to try out one of our Side-by-Side tandems and chat with our participants about the joy they experience when accessing the right cycle and the right support.

The photo depicts Councillor Laura Sessions, a white lady with blond hair, cycling on a red, side-by-side handcycle in the carpark at Ladywell Day Centre alongside Kenneth, one of our instructors. They are both smiling broadly. In the background, you can see the blurred image of several others on tricycles.
