Valerie AuroraIt’s weird to me when people frame calls for bike-friendly infrastructure as in conflict with disability accommodation. Make a city good for biking requires lots of smooth curbless bike paths that are perfect for mobility scooters, much better than trying to use your scooter on the road or the sidewalk. I see people zipping around on their mobility scooters everywhere in Amsterdam. They also have these tiny little cars for people with disabilities that are allowed to use all bike infrastructure
Rachael L@vaurora whenever folks around me (Seattle) oppose — or at least “express concern” — about bike infra stuff for disability reasons usually citing car use they immediately go down my trust list. I AM a disabiled person who can’t drive a car but can bike. The majority of folks with disability here can’t drive or can’t afford cars but can transit, use sidewalks or … bike. Folks opposing bike access for disability rarely come back with transit or sidewalks just keeping car space.
