Directors
Dr Alistair Wilson
Consultant psychiatrist Alistair Wilson is the second founding director of Common Wheel. He was fixing his own bike one day and realised the theraputic effects, and wondered whether it would be the same for his patients.
He is a regular commuter cyclist, and a modest collector of slightly offbeat machines.
His interest in music led to CW’s diversification into theraputic music, Polyphony.
Dr Howard Ashton
Howard is a retired town planner, and a definitely active cycletourist and hillwalker. He is also very involved in the Scottish Mountain Bothies Association and other voluntary work.
Howard was born affected by cerebral palsy. This condition affects muscle control and co-ordination. He did not succeed in walking until aged 8, and then not confidently. Cycling – or at least riding a bike! – a three wheeler to begin with at three years old, was to prove a simple but effective way to promote muscle strength and tone, as well as providing a useful form of personal independent transport.
Richard Morran
Richard brings a wealth of experience from his work with charities, voluntary and campaigning groups.
Ian Spinney
Dr Judith Foster
Judith is a regular commuter cyclist, whose many interests include information technology, recycling, and music.
