#CycleParkingAudit is a thing that's not addressed here. As much as drivers complain about how hard it is to find (free or subsidized) street parking, there's even less accessible public cycle parking.

She refers to "just pull on up", but she's not really giving a lot of thought to wheelchair accessibility and other concerns of where she's parking the cargo bike. Furthermore, if more people adopt cargo bikes (which would be a good thing), there'd be even less available and the

@annehargreaves @cycling_on_rails Just to expand who folks think of as folks in the disability community, that includes dwarf/LP folks. So flexibility for different heights is included in needing to design for accessibility.

It's why efforts to include disabled ppl aren't satisfied by "one wheelchair user". It's a very diverse community.

Of course abled people who are also short would also benefit from accessible design.

@cycling_on_rails I agree that it's a good amount of space to dedicate to cycles (yet allows flexibility for other uses).

I think ultimately it doesn't just need to be horizontal, but there has to be a width-adjustable system so that trikes and "odd-shaped" bikes can get in there. I'd say "quad", but I suspect the door of the car wouldn't allow one.

There should be a design that's adjustable, which would allow for the variety of cycle frames ppl, including disabled ppl, ride #CycleParkingAudit

@cycling_on_rails I agree it's better than average, but I also want to point out (so we can ask for a better ideal) that vertical isn't just inconvenient...it's inaccessible to many disabled cyclists like me.

We really need to involve disabled cyclists & designers in a confab to design the best compromise design for cycle parking on transit that we can come up with.
