What is Wheeling?
17/06/2025DCWW Trustees
An equivalent alternative to foot/pedestrian-based mobility. Includes wheeled mobilities such as manual self- or assistant-propelled wheelchairs, including wheelchairs with power attachments or all-terrain attachments (such as the “Freewheel”), powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters (three and four-wheeled) and rollators. Some people rely on their cycle to move (at a pedestrian’s pace) through pedestrianised environments when it is not physically possible to walk/push their cycle. Some people use their cycle as a walking aid, by leaning on it, some people use e-scooters (with or without a seat), to wheel/scoot through pedestrianised environment if they cannot walk unaided. We recommend never using “walking” on its own as it potentially reinforces ableist stereotypes and makes Disabled people invisible. Instead, we recommend always using “walking, wheeling” together. Both words represent the action of moving at a pedestrian’s pace, whether or not someone is standing or sitting, walking or wheeling unaided or using any kind of aid to mobility, including walking aids, wheeled aids, personal assistants or support animals.

The Transformative Power of e-bikes
12/05/2025Sam Underwood
’m fully sold on the idea of electric bikes and their ability to transform how we get about. Whether, like me, you have an e-cargo bike for lugging about tat, or if it gives you a little help so that you can ride with your partner again, or you’re just more likely to use your bike with a bit of a boost, it’s all good. I’m so sold on them that I’ve run a parish E-bike Loan Scheme for the past few years. Our scheme is really just an extension of the scheme run by Malvern Hills Car Club, which is intended to provide people with a quality e-bike for a couple of weeks, in order that they might test it for sensible period of time, as an alternative to a car. The bikes come with lights, mudguards, a lock and a pannier, to increase their utility. The scheme has been a great success. Inevitably, demand varies somewhat with the seasons, but we’ve gone on to help several residents to purchase and use e-bikes, based on their experiences with the loan bike(s). More recently, we’ve asked loanees to complete a short survey to assess their experience and how we might improve the scheme. This has highlighted just how positive people’s experiences of using an e-bike are, as well as leading us to acquire a second bike that we share with neighbouring parishes, for those wishing to cycle as a pair.
