We found there was often more that united us than divided us - and yet too often, changes intended to make life easier for cyclists have made active travel - whether walking, cycling or wheeling - more difficult for other groups, largely due to poor design. So now we're holding a joint workshop with the RNIB and others to try and clarify what each others' needs are and try and ensure we build streets that work for all. </p> <p>It's a free event but we'll need to know how many people are coming to organise catering etc. so please sign up online and please also spread the word. </p>
