Formerly known as Bike Life, this is the UK's biggest ever study of walking, wheeling and cycling.
Every year, walking and cycling in Tyneside results in:
I’m registered blind and have a guide dog. I walk into North Shields every weekday to take my kids to school.
The street isn’t level, with a lot of potholes and poor drainage. Sometimes there’s no kerb. Guide dogs are trained to go from kerb to kerb so the dog gets confused if the kerb’s not there.
Clear street corners and edges help, with contrasting colours. Straight lines and landmarks like bollards or bins are useful to navigate.

This is the third time we've collaborated with Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council and North Tyneside Council to survey active travel in the city.
