Two simple ideas on one amazing cargo bike, which if you look closely you'll see is both a front loader and a longtail. Will write about this bike on @cyclingelectric.bsky.social next week

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?

I often scream at motorists “Where are your driving gloves?”

This was a design I sketched in 1994 but I think it got buried in the cost benefit out tray

For all those people who drive by themselves moaning that the “pavements are too wide in town” 🙈🙉🛣️

I’m not saying the cycle paths and roads in Shrewsbury are so pot-holed they’re dangerous, but while riding home, my Apple Watch decided I’d had a dangerous fall and wanted to call 999.

Explain your @ Plotfolk was a term I used for all the creatures seen and unseen down the allotment. It became apparent that I am just plotfolk too, just another creature trying to co-exist on this planet with all living things. We are all Plotfolk.

I don't post much on here but today, I thought some dots needed joining. So, have a read of this, about the most powerful health, cost of living, growth and health intervention you've never heard of www.linkedin.com/pulse/most-p...

I shall watch this with interest. There's no way to get 60% of kids actively travelling to school without disrupting current patterns of car-based mobility. This includes making all urban streets safer, not just those right outside schools www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Well, it's taken me over half a century but today I finally got to catch a train at Oswestry Station and it was an absolute thrill 🤯 #Shropshire #Railways 🚉

The torygraph here promising us all a good time. It all sounds very utopian to me. I'm in

I have never used, let alone owned a dishwasher.

This table wouldn't fit in a van, so we got asked if we could help. We could! #CargoBike #IsleOfWight

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

We're always happy to work with cycling and active travel organisations so they can be inclusive and good allies to Disabled people. Check out our training page wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/our-campaign... and get in touch if you'd like to know more.

I know full well that engineering companies Stadco, Perkins (Rolls-Royce, Caterpillar), Vickers (Lancaster, Radius) were chock-a-block full of bicycle commuters before the 90s. The bike racks were huge.

Generations of people keep saying “No-one cycles in Shrewsbury” Probably the same generations of people who can also be found reminiscing about the good old days on FB #Shrewsbury

Active travel is a social justice issue - let's make it easier for more people to enjoy the benefits this World Bicycle Day 🥰🙏 #ClergyWhoCycle #WorldBicycleDay

World Bicycle Day! I love riding my Brompton Bicycle & the freedom that cycling brings. Cycling is fantastic for both mental & physical health it helps reduce stress, improves fitness, & overall wellbeing. Every ride is a reminder of how such a simple activity can have so many positive benefits.

A video like this is often framed as proof the Dutch are somehow superhuman. They’re not. The real miracle isn't the Dutch cyclist. It's the built environment that allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Build the infrastructure, and you'll find your city is full of capable cyclists too.
