If you cycle in and around Birmingham regularly, chances are that Howard and Esther have had some influence on your bicycling life. From Howard’s work with CTC, the cycling safety team at RoSPA and consulting engineering firm Allott & Lomax (now owned by Jacobs Engineering), to Esther’s campaigning and their work with Push Bikes, they have been involved, either directly or indirectly, with the way the cycling landscape has evolved in Birmingham.

Cycling with Epilepsy

Cycling with epilepsy? How does that work? Doesn't epilepsy involve randomly falling over, unconscious, and shaking uncontrollably? It can do. That type of seizure is known as a tonic-clonic seizure, but it is just one of a range of possibilities. There are several types of epilepsy, and each varies in terms of the frequency, length, and nature of seizures.

I am one of the 17% of disabled people who are born with their disabilities, rather than acquiring them later in life.  I was born with a rare syndrome which means I am partially deaf - hearing almost nothing without my hearing aids - and have balance problems related to my ears and unusual eye movement.
