One for @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk #BashTheBarriers campaign. Definitely not disability friendly & breach of the Equality Act.

Have a word with the @suttonlibdems.bsky.social and @suttoncouncil.bsky.social about the imposition of #Discrimination against the #CyclingDisabled through infrastructure!

Might be worth anyone with disabilities or mobility issues make a FOI request for the Equality Impact Assessment as I bet there's none & should be removed or replaced with accessible set-up. #BashTheBarriers

A bicycle and trailer behind a mess of inacessible horizontal and upright metal bars known as an access control barrier
A bicycle parked in front of a locked gate waiting for its trailer to be reattached
Disconnect, wheel bike through, go back, wheel trailer through, connect back up.
Completed with a Krypton Factor of 7.

A blue climbing frame across a shared pedestrian and cycle track. Beyond the barrier is a bicycle with panniers that has been wheeled through a gap to one side. In front of the climbing frame is a cycle trailer, loaded with shopping. It will not fit through the gap and has to be detached and wheeled through separately.
Not sure whether I'm supposed to approach this one like I'm a seriousp contestant on the Krypton Factor, or with more of a Jeux sans frontières spirit.

An open gate on a wide tarmac path beside some temporary plastic barriers. Behind the barriers are wide spaced bollards with symbols indicating a shared pedestrian and cycle track.
A tarmac path through the remnants of a York frame barrier, there are fresh tarmac patches where elements of the barrier have been removed.

More #BashTheBarriers loveliness on and around #NCN177, works are clearly ongoing on some of the others.

A tree-lined pedestrian and cycletrack passes through the former site of a york frame barrier. Parts of the structure have been removed and the tarmac surface restored leaving a more accessible path
A pedestrian and cycletrack crosses a road. At each side of the road the path passes through the former site of a york frame barrier. Parts of the structure have been removed and the tarmac surface restored leaving a more accessible path
Signs attached to railings asking people to report nuisance motorcycle use to the police. There is a q/r code to scan.
Nice bit of #BashTheBarriers work on NCN177 west of Cyclopark.

Doesn't matter how much work. #Disabled cyclists have as much right to use a highway as anyone else. Unless the barrier is a "proportionate means to a legitimate end", it is unlawful (hint - it isn't). Take a look at our materials at @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk #BashTheBarriers #MyCycleMyMobilityAid

Local authorities, developers and others who insist on installing A-frames and other barriers on cycle routes, meet some examples of the cycle design vehicle.

#BashTheBarriers - great work on active travel route barrier removal being done by #Disabled people in Manchester with Ryan Bradshaw from Leigh Day solicitors. Could have important national implications as well as in the Greater Manchester area: www.leighday.co.uk/news/news/20...
