They’re writing up some case studies. If that’s something you’d have the time or interest?

@2-wheeled-wolf.bsky.social I wonder if you might like to give Wheels for Wellbeing your thoughts on Cycle To Work (or what should change about it) - I think you’ve tweeted before about how you are excluded from being able to use it? That sounds like an important point to contribute.

I wanted to do that but my insurance said it wouldn’t be covered if not locked through the frame to something immovable. Evenings is pretty immovable itself if a motorcycle chain goes through the sarne & wheel.

There’s is no such parking in most places!

Agreed. I also love the idea of having an root medium that unites children in a common experience of the building blocks for communication. One that doesn’t limit them by predicting which path(s) a child will follow or when, but simply provides opportunities.

Such a missed opportunity for public good. When I was introduced to Makaton I was excited by the concept that users could stay with it, or progress to written, spoken or sign language - they weren’t being pushed down one path or limited by others views of their potential. But none of that was true.

Ban loops less than average wait times,

I remember noticing years ago the DWP PIP hold music was less than 1 minute long, and the announcement that you were on hold was about 3 seconds shorter, so each time it got slightly earlier on the loop. Expected wait times were 40min-90 min.

how is it possible for the same small area simultaneously to be a popular green leisure space, a mess of drug running on motorcycles and flooded most of the time?

Any mobility product sold without malice or negligence should be clear with purchasers about the legal situation for its use on the road.

When they don’t mention anything, as if no rules exist at all - I wonder what other rules they treat as non-existent, eg safety regs.

I meant the ones that are advertised as mobility scooters, sold online, don’t tell buyers about the health related eligibility to use one legally, don’t give a class but also aren’t registered as out of class - aren’t legal to use other than on private land, but they are sold as mobility scooters.

I’ve seen all sorts of “mobility scooters” being sold online that were actually illegal motorbikes.

These are the problem. Not people with safe, tested, “real,” legal mobility scooters.

This is a trading standards / consumer issue, and should be addressed as such!
