Time for the much more serious allegations against him to be investigated too

Drawing of a snowy scene with bike wheel and cog shaped snow falling across happy snow people riding six different wheeled mobility devices. From top left: Two snow people riding a tandem mobility scooter. The rear rider has tight fitting dark glasses; A snow person riding a sit-on e-scooter wearing a glamorous matching purple ball gown and fascinator, with a parasol; A snow person riding a recumbent tadpole trike, towing a child trailer with a small snow person inside; A snow person wearing punk clothes using a manual wheelchair and e-assist handcycle attachment; A snow person using a powerchair, smiling into a single-wheel pram clipped to the front of their chair; Two snow people in matching blue bobble hats and scarves riding a side-by-side tandem cycle and cuddling each other. Title reads "wishing everyone their ideal wheels in 2026" and has the Wheels for Wellbeing logo in the top right corner.

There's no single mobility aid that works for everyone.

That's why we'll keep working to help make a world where all #Disabled people can use their ideal wheels to get around.

Wishing everyone their ideal wheels in 2026!

Cycling is for all and we are stronger for our diversity. Wheels for Wellbeing have a diverse staff team, are proud to join the Pride Ride and echo others in calling for @cyclinguk.bsky.social to reconsider their decision next year.

We are however disappointed at the exclusion this year of the many trans and non-binary individuals who contribute hugely to our communities.

100 Women in Cycling Cycling UK’s 100 Women in Cycling celebrates extraordinary women who inspire, encourage and empower others to experience the joy of cycling

We are thrilled our very own Katie Renker has been named as a Cycle Influencer in Cycling UK's 100 Women in Cycling 2025.

A black woman on a red upright tricycle cycling in a cycle lane. The cycle has a basket in which is a blue bag. She is wearing a black helmet, yellow long-sleeved top and a purple high vis jacket. Behind her is a red bus, yellow and green ambulance and a green van. In the far background are houses.

Wheels for Wellbeing are concerned by reports that the Chancellor is considering putting a maximum price for cycles allowed through the Cycle to Work scheme.

We are calling for the scheme to be reformed rather than capped.

The Zag List: 100 Mobility Changemakers In the 2nd annual edition of The Zag List, we are recognising 100 trailblazers driving the global shift toward cleaner, safer and more connected mobility worldwide.

Zag Daily's list of 100 Mobility Changemakers has been published. There are loads of great people on the list but it's a real shame none of the Disabled people leading accessible transport campaigns or the Disabled People's Organisations delivering change in the UK have been included.

A graphic with a red and orange gradient background featuring bold yellow and red text that reads: “Carla Denyer MP writes to Rachel Reeves to call for an end to ‘scandal’ of tax breaks for oil and gas companies.” Below, there is an image of a letter addressed to Rachel Reeves MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, from Carla Denyer MP. To the right of the letter, a quote reads: “Use the budget to end financial support to fossil fuel production and fund a workers transition package.”

Did you know the government spends £2.7 billion a year on tax breaks for oil & gas companies?

I've written to Rachel Reeves to tell her to end this scandal: stop propping up declining oil & gas companies and back workers instead

BBC slammed for asking Kelvin Mackenzie about journalism standards Liverpool fans and others staggered by choice to invite former S*n editor to discuss ongoing issues at the BBC

can't think of a headline that better sums up the BBC at present

Nine people suffering life-threatening injuries after train stabbing in Cambridgeshire, police say Police have arrested two people and counter-terrorism police are also involved in an investigation into the mass stabbing on a train from Doncaster to London’s Kings Cross on Saturday

A horrific attack with witnesses describing people running down the train and hiding in toilets to escape. I hope there were no #disabled people on board as they would have no means of escape. Crises always reveal the lack of emergency egress for disabled people.

No plans to remove Andrew from line of succession after losing royal titles, government says Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne and it would take an act of Parliament to formally remove him.

Photograph of me - a white woman with grey curly hair, purple clothes and a purple wheelchair - sitting beside a table of new release books and holding one of the copies of my book, Overspill, in my left hand.

It was great to visit my just published (with @srlpublishing.bsky.social) cli-fi thriller Overspill in my local indie bookshop yesterday - News from Nowhere Liverpool. There’s nothing like seeing your own book in your favourite bookshop! #BookSky

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

“I’m proud to be Black and proud to have a learning disability.”

Everywhere that there is a #BikeShare, e-bike share or e-scooter share scheme, there should be an accessible option for #Disabled people. We need active and sustainable mobility more than most, and yet we are so often excluded #Eco-Ableism

Excellent investigation here. I am still at a loss as to how the UK Government can define damaging planes or other property as terrorism, but shooting thirsty children who are standing in a queue for water as part of a nation's self defence and neither terrorism or genocide...

Disabled people’s mobility – why Bus Stop Bypasses are sometimes essential briefing Wheels for Wellbeing is an award-winning charity supporting disabled people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of cycling.

Great to see @benwheels.bsky.social at the #ActiveCity discussion on bus stops, rocking the @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk t-shirt and no doubt highlighting that pedestrian, bus AND cycle infrastructure must be equally safe and accessible for all: wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/disabled-peo...

'The reason we have PIP is because it costs Disabled people £1,000 more each month to live to the same standard as non-disabled people, because of decisions Governments have made to not address that.'

'The Met Police confiscated my wheelchair for 19 days' Israel Vidal's wheelchair was taken by police because it had an electric attachment.

Police should not be confiscating #Disabled people’s necessary equipment. Isra’s story illustrates Met bad practice and the need to sort out the law around mobility aids. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid.
