For too many people in the UK, people-powered movement is not possible. It’s not safe, accessible or affordable.

People who live in deprived areas, people who are disabled, people who are older, and younger, and women are those most often excluded from being able to walk, wheel or cycle.

We call it people-powered movement. Walking, wheeling and cycling might sound like small actions. But they add up to something much, much bigger.

They ripple out and change everything.

We felt Sustrans didn't really explain who we are. The new name makes it much clearer.

A baby cycle of course! Jokes aside, we were dictated by Bluesky's character limits sadly.
