Saturday marked our last cycling session of the year before our staff (and trusty cycles) enjoy a well-deserved break. We look forward to welcoming you back at the usual times from the week beginning 12/01/26 Sessions available to pre-book on the portal now!

Did you know a summary of our Guide to Inclusive Cycling along with its key recommendations is available in Easy Read? You can view it by following the link below. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wheels-for-w... #InclusiveCycling #GuideToInclusiveCycling #AccessibleCycling

Jeremy was a keen cyclist before illness made cycling a two-wheeled bicycle impossible. Through the Wheels4Me scheme, he was able to explore tricycle options & get back to doing what he loves. Watch his story below & find out how you can trial a cycle at wheels4me.co.uk youtu.be/q-ZnnXd3M2s

It's always great to read about someone like Zeeshan, who is now cycling for the first time! But, as the article mentions, a trike is much bigger & heavier than a bike, and requires a lot of strength and stamina to use. You can't keep up with non-disabled people on bikes using an unpowered trike.

All we want for Christmas is for barriers to be removed so that even more people can benefit from cycling! #InclusiveCycling #AccessibleCycling #ActiveTravel

Following some really helpful discussions with David Smith from City of York Council, we've updated our Benches and Seating Guide to reflect a couple of points for better accessibility. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/benches-and-... #AccessibilityMatters #AccessibleOutdoors

We love this time of the year, as it's one of the few occasions when staff, volunteers and trustees all get together at the Christmas Party. So, last week it was an absolute pleasure to see everyone in-person to celebrate everything we've achieved this year and to let our hair down.

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.

Did you know there is also a British Sign Language (BSL) version of our Guide to Inclusive Cycling which covers the foreword and key recommendations? View it below. youtu.be/l-M5BE9G2JI #InclusiveCycling #GuideToInclusiveCycling #AccesibleCycling

There's no single mobility aid that works for everyone. That's why we'll keep working to help make a world where all #Disabled people can use their ideal wheels to get around. Wishing everyone their ideal wheels in 2026!

Spotlight on: ICE Adventure What makes this cycle so special? Check out this fab video from Utah Trikes to learn about some of the great features offered by the ICE Adventure! And although this video is made in the USA, the ICE trike is British designed and made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks05...

There are just a few days left of this amazing charity draw, so please nominate us. It only takes a minute and we may be one of the lucky charities to win £1,000! Thank you for your support! movementforgood.com

Our latest Cycle Story is about Mark Browne, our Cycling Operations Manager. Learn more about what cycling means to him, what makes him quite angry and where he goes for really nice cake! wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/our-cycle-st... #AccessibleCycling #InclusiveCycling #CycleStories

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. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"We support David, Gill and Wheels for Wellbeing in asking for a change in the law to allow safe, tested tandem mobility scooters and other multi-person mobility aids to be legally used in the UK." - Surewise insurers @surewiseuk.bsky.social

Yesterday, Wednesday 3rd December was International Day of Persons with Disabilities. To mark the day, Croydon Council put on a flag raising event at Croydon Town Hall.

We are thrilled our very own Katie Renker has been named as a Cycle Influencer in Cycling UK's 100 Women in Cycling 2025. www.cyclinguk.org/100women

Fantastic to see these plans for barrier removal and dropped kerb improvements on loads of traffic-free routes around Hull. #Disability #Access www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This International Day of Persons with Disabilities we're celebrating the ever-increasing range of brilliant mobility aids available.

CYCLE SPOTLIGHT: Van Raam Easy Rider Compact Did you read about Susie's Edinburgh experience with her Van Raam Compact last week? The Easy Rider Compact is one of our most popular cycles.

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.

From 1st – 16th December, Benefact Group are donating £1,000 to 10 charities each day. Please can everyone vote for us. It only takes a minute and we may be one of the lucky charities to win. Thank you all so much for your support. movementforgood.com #MovementForGood

If you're thinking of splashing out this Black Friday, please think about using easyfundraising.org.uk and choosing us as your beneficiary.

The nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping but don't be downhearted - our latest newsletter is here! So pour yourself a hot drink, snuggle up with a blanket and enjoy! preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1038... #InclusiveCycling #AccessibleCycling @westonfdn.bsky.social

Did you know, in addition to our London sessions and exclusive loan scheme we also operate a NATIONWIDE advice line through #Wheels4Me?

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. Read our full statement. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/wheels-for-w...

Zag Daily's list of 100 Mobility Changemakers has been published. There are loads of great people on the list but it's a real shame none of the Disabled people leading accessible transport campaigns or the Disabled People's Organisations delivering change in the UK have been included. bit.ly/4pjqcor

We are concerned about recent talk about cuts to the Cycle to Work Scheme. Though the scheme has some limits, where other forms of transport present barriers to Disabled people, cycling can for some be a method of independent travel that is supported through the Cycle To Work Scheme.

We're hearing more and more cases where Disabled people are being denied the right to use safe powered mobility aids for essential mobility in their homes, workplaces, education, healthcare and transport settings. Mobility isn't nice-to-have: it's essential.

A published author and with a love for North Wales and the Scottish Highlands, Kay Inckle, our Campaigns and Policy Manager wants nothing more than for every Disabled person to have their perfect cycle and safe accessible places to store and ride it.

Looking for a cycle that’s built for adventure and comfort? The ICE Adventure e-assist recumbent trike makes an incredible touring cycle: comfortable, manoeuvrable, and because it folds up to fit in a car (*dependent), it’s easy to take wherever you want to start your journey!

If you weren't able to attend Isabelle's talk last week about "Ensuring that Freedom to Cycle is Accessible to All”, the video of the talk is now available. #InclusiveCycling #ActiveTravel #AccessibleCycling @isabelleclementmbe.bsky.social

Spotlight on: ICE Adventure There are lots of accessories that can be added to an ICE Trike to make it even more perfect for you and your needs. Want to test it in person? Come along to a Wheels for Wellbeing session to see if a recumbent could work for you. @icetrikes.bsky.social

Susie never got an opportunity to learn to cycle as a child, but took to it like a duck to water and was soon volunteering to share her new passion with others.

There is still time to sign up for Isabelle's online talk on “Ensuring that Freedom to Cycle is Accessible to All”. When: Thursday, 6th November Time: 11am–12pm (London time) Register your free place here: unil.zoom.us/meeting/regi... @isabelleclementmbe.bsky.social

It’s just a week to go before Isabelle presents her talk, “Ensuring that Freedom to Cycle is Accessible to All,” as part of a Europe-wide series of online discussions on cycling and active mobility, with a focus on making cycling accessible for everyone.

"But everyone knows what I mean when I say "bike"! While that may be true, when we talk about 'bikes' it's easy for many people to forget about those who need to use non-standard cycles such as trikes, recumbents and tandems.

Unusually I was at work for @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk on Sat. I was at the "Homes for Us" Summit - back in Westminster for the 2nd time in a week, but mingling with activists rather than politicians. A productive & creative day looking at housing crisis & how it affects minoritised communities.

Fancy a well-earned break? Well, grab a cuppa and settle down with a copy of our latest newsletter. As well as covering the official launch of the 5th edition of The Guide to Inclusive Cycling, you'll find out what Mobility Justice means to us,

Interested in where your nearest #InclusiveCycling facility is? Not sure what type of cycle might suit you? Need advice on adaptations? Wherever you are, whatever your question our advisor is here to help!

What an absolutely amazing event!! Fantastic to see such a great turnout and so many people supporting this important campaign to make cycling safer for women, and therefore for everyone! #MyRideOurRight #RideTheNight #InclusiveCycling @cyclinguk.bsky.social

Next month @isabelleclementmbe.bsky.social will be joining a Europe-wide series of online talks on cycling & active mobility, with a focus on making cycling accessible to everyone. Her talk, “Ensuring that Freedom to Cycle is Accessible to All,” will explore the principles of accessible cycling.

This Wednesday Kay, our Campaigns and Policy Manager, is taking part in Ride the Night Liverpool. This inclusive, women-led, evening ride aims to shine a light (literally!) on the need for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark.

If you weren't able to make it to the launch of the 5th Edition of our Guide to Inclusive Cycling, then the good news is the full video from the event is now live. View the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm5t... #InclusiveCyclingGuide #InclusiveCycling #AccessibleCycling

We all need the freedom to travel, but time restrictions on bus passes lock Disabled people out of work, study and our community. It’s time to #UnlockTransportAccess @transportforall.org.uk #TransportForAll #ActiveTravel

It's 'Cycle to School Week', a UK-wide event run every year by Bikeability to celebrate cycling to school and the huge benefits it brings to children's health and wellbeing.

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. Watch the full video on YouTube & find out how you can trial a cycle yourself at wheels4me.co.uk youtu.be/q-ZnnXd3M2s

“Using a wheelchair and mobility scooter allows me to pace and manage my pain." This is a lovely account from Amanda on learning to pace during activity and how she uses a variety of mobility aids at different times to manage chronic conditions. www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/what-fi...

Mobility justice is one of our core campaigning principles but what does it mean, & why does it matter? The latest in our Language Matters series looks at our definition & how it applies to active travel, transport, public space and environmental schemes. wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/language-mat...
