Deeply moving video of the effect Long COVID can have on mobility and quality of life. We were privileged to speak to Darren earlier in his diagnosis about utility cycling (https://t.co/UFznhuQJPA) and we're sorry to see this latest update. https://t.co/vz6YPS4u7H

We've had very few new enquiries in the last few weeks. Please tell others about us and get more people riding our bikes.

I'm delighted @TfL & @LMFoundation_ have announced £580,000+ of new funding to community projects for our Walking & Cycling Grants.

This funding encourages 1000s of Londoners of all backgrounds to walk & cycle - improving their physical health & mental well-being 💚🚲🚶

LETS TALK COLOURS!

Exciting times ahead as our #Wheels4Me fleet prepares to expands to include 3 new demo chairs and 3 new handcycles to loan for FREE (more on those soon!), but we need your help on the big decision...

What colour should these beauties be?

Our Community Outreach team had a fantastic time at Vauxhall Park in #Lambeth on Friday, helping lots of new cyclists to find their wheels!

When funding allows, we love introducing new people to our non-standard cycles and taster days like this are a fabulous way to do it!

@icetrikes low centre of gravity keeps the rider stable. The supportive, reclined seat & lever system make it a comfortable option for anyone who struggles to balance on an upright cycle or hold their arms out in front of them. E-assist helps with hills. Our next loan cycle?

[Wheels for Wellbeing @Wheels4Well]

Walking/wheeling & cycling infrastructure rarely allows people to move in groups, especially through hazard points like junctions
But we recognise the need for groups to travel in larger cars, minibuses or even coaches: Our streets provide for big private vehicles by default

Thanks to @wheels4well @Motability @Sustrans @peddlemywheels for the trike loan. It provides a free month long cycle loan for disabled people in London. I found out about it via @willnorman twitter feed and is the first time out on a bike in 14 months.

Well-done 👍

[Darlovelo @Darlovelo]

🔍We demonstrated that the original infrastructure was discriminatory.

🤝We met with an officer of @darlingtonbc and suggested a simple, low cost, change.

😍We are glad to report that the recommended changes have been made.

❗️1 down 99 to go!
