Summary	"LGBTQIA+ people experience many of the same barriers to active travel as the wider population; however, their experiences are often compounded by structural barriers. Safety concerns are a common theme uniting many experiences of active travel. Beyond the typical traffic-related safety concerns, these stem from LGBTQIA+ people having to navigate spaces where they may encounter transphobia, homophobia or biphobia. Identities such as ethnicity, class, and disability also intersect with LGBTQIA+ identities to influence feelings of safety. Individuals adopt various strategies to manage safety risks for example avoiding certain areas, times of day or travel modes, travelling in groups and reducing how visibly LGBTQIA+ they appear."
