This is also a very narrow view of "disability", there are many reasons why someone may not be willing or able to ride a bike, not all of them are met by suggesting that those people should use a hand cycle or electric wheelchair.


And you are suggesting their needs are better met by buying a transporter that they then have to entirely rejig for a cost in excess of $30k and telling everyone who wants to get around by handcycle or electric wheelchair to fuck off?

It's hard to see this as any more than a thinly veiled "but I need my car!" by people who have likely never in their life met a disabled person.


I am suggesting that there is no "one size fits all" solution. This isn't a problem that is amenable to simplistic solutions.

Be careful with your presumptions, we're all strangers here.
