Walk, Wheel or Ride?

Skip the car and choose walking, cycling, or wheeling instead. It’s a great way to get around, boost your health, and cut down on traffic.

Walk, wheel or ride refers to using physically active modes of transport, such as:

• walking
• wheeling (including mobility aids)
• cycling

to reach everyday places such as:

• work
• school
• the shops
• a friend’s house

Whether it’s your whole journey or just part of it, active travel offers a host of benefits. It’s a great way to improve your health, save money, and reduce traffic congestion. Plus, by leaving the car behind, you help cut air pollution and make your streets safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Every step, push, or pedal helps build a cleaner, more active future for you and your community.

So next time you need something from the local shop, enjoy a nice stroll or bike ride and leave the car on the drive, or when travelling to work or school, if you can’t use active travel for the whole journey, park further away and walk the rest of the way.
