They campaign for and create spaces where everyone can move around safely. Here, they work on a spectrum of issues including accessibility for disabled people, gendered differences in cycling, and provisions for older people. Indeed, their advocacy such as the Disabled Citizens’ Inquiry, seek to give disabled people a voice in making walking and wheeling more inclusive.
