Rachael is a dedicated campaigner for cycling. She joined Cycling UK’s Cycling Advocacy Network to learn more about campaigning.

“I started campaigning in 2021 after my husband and I jumped in the car to drive a mile or so to the surgery for our Covid jabs. We ended up in parking chaos and realised how stupid we had been to drive. I also started to notice how few children, particularly girls, cycle.”
