Share your story in the new Walking and Cycling Index 2025 Page number 1 Do you live in a Scottish city? Share your experience about walking, wheeling or cycling! Page 1 of 2 The sustainable transport charity Sustrans is producing a new iteration of the Walking and Cycling Index - the biggest survey of walking, wheeling, and cycling in urban areas in the UK and Ireland. The Walking and Cycling Index supports leaders of cities and towns to understand and improve walking, wheeling, and cycling across the UK and Ireland. The Index provides high-quality evidence to help ensure walking, wheeling and cycling are attractive and accessible for everyone. In Scotland, we work in partnership with the relevant local councils to produce an Index report for each of our 8 cities: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness, Stirling, and Dunfermline. All 8 Index city reports, alongside an aggregated report for Scotland, will launch with the rest of the UK and Ireland reports in March 2026. To help bring the survey data to life, we are looking for short personal stories from city residents aged 16+ about their own experiences of walking, wheeling or cycling.
🙋 YOU could feature in the 2025 #Edinburgh 🚶👩🦼🚲 Index report, or other city

What an energizing IPTOP networking session yesterday! Physios from around the globe came together to discuss the challenges of working with older adults, how technology is transforming geriatric care, and—of course—shared some funny, little-known facts about our home countries.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... What do you mean, you haven't signed the Parky Charter petition calling for better Parkinson's care?? We Parkies have an excuse - one of the symptoms of PD is apathy. But as for the rest of you, jump to it! (pretty please..)
