youtu.be/Wtmpx5jn6DY?si=0kfG… Congratulation @wfcouncil for 10 years of transformation of the Borough to a place for Wheeling and Cycling. It was a tough initiative. The wonderful political leadership from the Deputy Leader Clyde Loaks and work of @wfcycling made it happen.

@LiamFox The Coming Storm, picked up from you at #innovationzero is excellent. Well structured and argued, and scary – at Hammersmith, London

At #innovationzero up steps this guy, ‘about 20 years ago I gave you a cycling lesson’ he says. @FixedFun is back! Watch out London I’ll be back on that bike before you know it.

Consider donating to hyper local Dementia groups like Deep groups. The local group on an Estate in Hammersmith forbrian.co @ForBrian runs various dementia inclusive activities. They facilitate access for local people lwd. Having fun in the moment is forefront.

The alzheimers soc should work to enhance living for people with dementia, not stigmatising them as living /dying a zombie sad existence. End negative and inaccurate dementia pr. Show the hopeful, creative possibilities. - Sign the Petition! chng.it/gqBzRYzD via @UKChange – at Hammersmith, London

Totally get how some carers feel parts of their loved one has died a little as their dementia progresses, it seems you co produced the vid with a group of such carers. In the spirit of #nothingaboutuswithoutus how many people with dementia were involved? Here many hate the vid

As we get older we lose function whether living with dementia. I can no longer skip from rock to rock down mountains. A part of me has NOT died, I enjoy other things – at Hammersmith, London

Wow! 3400+ free trips on @Bikeworksuk cycle taxi had astounding results: “I tried it and love it. [I feel] euphoric. 30 minutes I am talking on my lightwriter to my hubby [about] how wonderful I feel. I think cycle taxi is the most wonderful thing in the world.” 🧵1/2

That's such backward thinking. Exchanging places was the main aim of various driver-rider sessions. Empathy, standing in riders shoes has always been the most important impactful element of sud. rest of the course is filler. (tbh would ditch the ppt theory 1/2 adding more riding
