If we build #ActiveTravel infrastructure at all, it’s piecemeal or eg goes through a poorly lit park then we wonder why cycling for transport is dominated by the least risk averse, ie. young men.

Well, I guess it's good for active travel campaigners that Heidi Alexander has remained as lead transport minister. That should mean Chris Boardman stays as Commissioner. #activetravel #heidialexander #biketooter

It's time for an #introduction!

My name's Sarah, I'm a #campaigner for joyful travel, which basically means I try to make it easy for people to get around on foot and by #bike. I'm increasingly passionate about #fatacceptance, too.

I love hearing about anything to do with #walking, #cycling, #activetravel, #urbanism and #placemaking.

You might like following me if you're into loving how you get around. I can't wait to meet you.
