MONDAY 8TH JUNE

???? ????!

This week we’re celebrating the joy of cycling with Cycling UK! You can join in by sharing your bike journeys with #7daysofcycling to win prizes or taking part in online events!

We thought we would start by sharing one of our success stories during lockdown. At Velocity we work closely with other organisations to help people enjoy the benefits of cycling. Our hardworking bike mechanics teamed up with WheelNess to match this bike with someone in the community who previously relied on lifts from their neighbour to get around. Now they will be able to collect supplies and exercise by bike! Just in time to join in with #bikeweekuk

Anyone can join our community Strava to find a bit of motivation: https://www.strava.com/clubs/VelocityCommunityStrava

The sign in the background of this photo means ?????? ??? ???? – you can cycle along the path but be careful of pedestrians walking! Check out this Active Travel Map to discover shared paths near you! http://hitrans.org.uk/userfiles/file/HI-Travel-active-travel-map.pdf

The ‘new normal’

What is the ‘new normal’ you imagine? At Velocity we imagine a fair, friendly and sustainable world where those walking, wheeling, rolling and strolling feel happy and healthy!

Come along to the ‘?????? ???? ??????? ??????? ???? ?? ??? ??? ??????’ webinar hosted by Cycling UK at 2pm today, and join the conversation!

Your New Normal

“With streets all over the country changing to encourage everyone to walk, cycle, or wheel, now is the time to embed these simple pleasures into our daily routines”

Our great friend and Active Nation Commissioner, Lee Craigie, shares her thoughts on how lockdown has changed our streets and what actions we can take in the future.

Have you taken up cycling, walking, or other active ways of getting around? We’d love to hear your experiences!

Your New Normal by Lee Craigie

Meet Jasmin, one of our passionate Project Workers who has been involved in a variety of projects from Cycle to Health to the new Yoga Outreach Project!

During lockdown she has been committed to helping people find joy in movement and connection whether guiding them through an online yoga session or supporting them through everyday life.

Velocity is a compassionate place with a love for local, organic food with zero waste. Recently Jasmin brought a bit of kindness to her doorstep by offering free seedlings to her community.

Have you witnessed a random act of kindness lately? We’d love to hear about it!
