Now @peterwalker99 on how regular everyday physical activity has disappeared from our day to day routines
Hunting for the lift vs taking the stairs: 'That's the kind of everyday disincentive for physical activity'

@peterwalker99 adds that 100,000 people die in the UK every year due to illnesses related to physical inactivity. Desperately sad situation, almost a parallel epidemic but with less action from ministers
@IsabelleClement 'what I really missed was being social'

But @IsabelleClement clearly saying how important pavements are especially for wheeled pedestrians, as even shortest journey can be made impossible by lack of proper infrastructure
We just had a breakout with some discussion on how travelling further afield is sorely missed. Especially to see family. We maybe don't miss the commute but miss the way we got around.
@SutchFun speaking so passionately about how we need to protect our wellbeing & mental health & how the second lockdown has hit many of us in a much harder way.
Even the loss of daylight hours & muddy parks seems an extra barrier to travelling actively.
@samra_said talking about the great work #CycleSisters do to get women out and to be active right now with #SmilesAndMiles
Wow @SutchFun hitting nail on head I think for change in many communities 'don't forget the comms and marketing'
Also highlighting how much we need proper promotion of tools councils are using for engagement otherwise we won't reach who we need to.
Yes @SutchFun !
