Cycled into the office for first time since lockdown today. Had the opportunity to ride the length of #Railton Road at the heart of @LtnRailton. What a pleasure to go straight through! I used to meander around parallel streets, bits on the footway when too scary.. Much improved!
Also cycled into central London later so took in #OvalNTN. Great too!
All making it less likely that I'll drive & pollute (though there will be time where I'll need to) cos all my quick cut through have been cut off 😅. Much more likely I'll travel actively & regain my fitness.
I'm aware I'm privileged to be equipped with the right wheelchair + clip-on handcycle so I can travel actively & improve my fitness whist going where I need to go.
We MUST get financial support / adaptive cycle hire schemes in place so many more Disabled people can do the same.
Disabled people won't benefit fully or at all from #WalkingWheelingCycling without appropriate mobility equipment & training, fully accessible streets & footway infrastructure & for some, retained ability to drive/be dropped off near or at their destination.
