Londoner #46 | Isabelle Clement, whizzes around London on her wheelchair bicycle

Originally from France, Isabelle moved to London in 1984 for a brief spell. She was drawn back for good though after finding Londoners to be some of the most friendly and open people that she had ever met.

Having been disabled since she was 10 months old, Isabelle was never able to walk far or run great distances making movement around a city an incredibly difficult task. That was however until she started to use a wheelchair and found that her life changed forever.

Things changed even more drastically when she discovered that she was able to transform her wheelchair into a bike! Now an avid cyclist Isabelle takes us on a unique journey of movement through the city and describes how she feels all the different wheels in her life have enabled her to power her life forward.
