What difference does using your cycle as a mobility aid make to your life? 

It means I can travel without feeling pain (walking causes me pain). It also means I can be active. 

What challenges, if any, have you encountered when using your cycle as a mobility aid?

Cycling is dangerous – the infrastructure isn’t good enough and big lorries etc. are scary. Some places are too dangerous to cycle.  Now I take my son on the bike and I’m limited to low traffic routes.  Also some places you aren’t allowed to cycle. 

If there was one thing that could change to help you to use your cycle as a mobility aid, what would it be? 

Motor traffic reduction.
