October Monthly Meeting – Isabelle Clement and Neil Andrews, Wheels for Wellbeing.

Isabelle and Neil will be talking about Wheels for Wellbeing’s recent research into the experience of disabled cyclists in London and across the UK. They will talk about how and why we should move to a fully inclusive cycling culture. It’s about bringing a true, Beyond the Bicycle, cycling revolution, where those who would benefit the most from cycling are able to do so. Wheels for Wellbeing is a small, disability run, cycling organisation based in South London. All its work is shaped by the experience of disabled cyclists.

Tuesday, 3 October. 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Friends Meeting House. Jesus Lane, Cambridge.
