When #Cycling's not the right answer, there are other options to augment the power of wheelchairs. They don't come cheap either though 😳!! If you're able to, please consider supporting RoCo's fundraiser so they can move freely around hilly #Sheffield! #ActiveMobility

My partner RoCo also uses a manual wheelchair, but Sheffield hills are A LOT. E-motion wheels would give them so much independence and energy back. Unfortunately, life changing tech doesn't come cheap.
If you can't donate, sharing also really helps

Pleased to be at @London_Cycling's AGM. Such impressive advocates for #cyclists in #London! Increasingly concentrating on the groups currently under represented in cycling (women, young people, people on low income, etc.).
Congratulations to @peddlemywheels and CEO Alper Muduroglu for winning well deserved LCC Community Initiative Award!! Key partners to #Wheels4MeLondon inclusive cycle loan scheme with @Wheels4Well. Total commitment to tackling barriers to cycling for the most excluded 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Travelling South London to Stanmore. It's ☀️! Handcycled to Waterloo station + @TfL #JubileeLine to Stanmore + handcycled to #RNOH for scan & back again. 1.5hrs exercise in the bag 🥳
#Accessible @Integrated, green transport!

Two visits to the Palace of Westminster, two days running! Better weather this morning so, time for a selfie while in the queue for security checks 😀.
What a gorgeous day to be cycling to work! 🌞😎Looking forward to giving #Keynote @nlalondon's conference on #ActiveTravel this morning 👍. The #BuiltEnvironment industry has a huge part to play in making active travel accessible for #Disabled people.

At the launch of @CIHTUK report on "Creating a Public Realm for All".
My trip to #Ghent for #VeloCity2024 restarts after a family weekend nr Paris. With my ♿, my #handbike (& hubby). 🧵
Cycled to RER station & requested assistance on departure & @ Gare du Nord. U got to wait for OK @ other end. Took 1/2hr B4 getting onto train but we're off 🎉.
#Ghent, here we come!! Pretty station + sunshine + tree-lined streets with hundreds of parked cycles & we finally found the conference venue & registered, ready for tomorrow ✅.
Excited, if a trepidatious! Off on quite a big adventure (me & the #handbike + hubby). Invited to speak at #VeloCity2024 in #Ghent next week 🎉. Taking opportunity to go via Paris & see family on way. Previously I'd have driven, with handbike in the boot. We're going by train 🤪.
Lucky (again) I have the handbike cos have to get off at previous station & to my sister's from there is V steep! But lift to platform is super small & I counted 6 different wheelchair users going up & down it as we waited. It's gonna be chaos during Paralympics! 😱
Made it to sis' place unscathed 😅. Will start new thread on Monday as we set off for #VeloCity.
