First time on a fixie, first time on a track. It was tough to learn, but managed a couple of laps above the red line. It's steeper than it looks! #DisabilityCycling #Brisbane

Eek! Excited that 1 week today I'll be trying a track cycling session for the first time at the #AnnaMearesVelodrome in Brisbane. #DisabilityCycling #inclusive – at Brisbane, Queensland

People with disabilities spend their whole lives overcoming barriers, but there’s one that is tough to get past without everyone’s help – getting a job. That’s why we want to #removethebarrier. Pls RT or share a story of someone with disability overcoming barriers in work or life

Sad to have received abuse because I am a Mayor in flat shoes that look similar to trainers rather than heels. As an amputee am just pleased that though limited I do have some mobility. In all honesty can't believe my footwear diminishes my ability to carry out the role

This is Tyson and Snickers. Over the years they have perfected the duo snoozle. Tyson always waits for Snickers to fall asleep first. 13/10 for both

Mindblown. Didn't know about @what3words until today. Staggeringly simple and has such great impact! Just downloaded app. Three-unique-words 'map' used to rescue mother and child bbc.com/news/technology-4770… – at Brisbane, Queensland

Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?

Has "weird flex but OK" peaked? We haven't even had a chance to use it yet! Please can you reply with things we can say it to, so we can have a go while it's still cool? Thanks in advance.

Good morning @jennygrahamis, wow you pushed through yesterday / last night! I can be at your finish point in about an hour, on my way to work. No worries if I've missed you, but I'll try. 👍 – at Brisbane, Queensland

Bionic Biker is back! In #Brisbane and fitness at zero after months of no riding. First ride today. My neighborhood can rival #Devon for short sharp hills, #exhausted! – at Pullenvale, Brisbane

A picture speaks 1000 words 😊. Design & build for #DisabledPeople & everyone can get through! Everyone's a winner with #InclusiveDesign & that applies to #Cycling as much as it does to every other area of #Planning. nitter.gq/Dale_Bracewell/status/…
Not a fan of reading about how to design cycling for people of all ages & abilities but want to know why we care so much about this topic? Check out this cartoon graphic by @ryan_martinson - a great illustration of better mobility that works for all.

Went to try on a wedding dress at @Phase_Eight yesterday. Got told by your sales assistant “if you lost 2/3kg, this dress would look great.” I’m a size 10, and a professional athlete. But regardless of size it is NOT ok to #bodyshame your customers like this.
