Walking truly is the invisible transport mode...

So valuable to capture a scenario like this which is shocking to watch but also an entirely mundane feature of life as a pedestrian in the city.

Go Liz!

If she had arrived in a Range Rover nobody would have batted an eye, but showing up on a bicycle that cost 1/20th the price that accomplishes the same tasks is somehow an extravagance.

It is in our genetic code to move our bodies & be in community with people. Being dependent on cars don’t help us do either.

You Should Be Aware that nothing has changed, and families are still going to court to vindicate their rights to assessments, or to service statements, and 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 not getting the services they need.

Those of us who drive are accustomed to having our needs at the center of every transportation discussion in the U.S., so it can be hard to think about sharing. But every person enabled to bike makes it easier & better for those who need or want to drive.

“companionship pervades children’s autonomous mobility & how children ‘do friendships’ by walking & cycling together.

In other words, autonomy and independence in and through mobility is crucial for the next generation’s wellbeing.”

Delighted to see this. Walkable Neighbourhoods are so important for all people, but in particular older people who want to age healthily and independently. Delays in dementia being one big win! #Walkability #Community
