      There are cycles available for almost every type of disability – it’s actually an inclusive mode of transport that will often act as a mobility aid for people who find walking difficult, people who can’t walk far and even those who cannot walk at all.

      Evidence from the Netherlands (and increasingly from the UK, where new infrastructure has been built) shows that high quality cycling infrastructure is often shared with wheelchairs, mobility scooters and other assistive modes of transport.

      And in general, cycling infrastructure should go hand-in-hand with other improvements to the physical environment too – like smooth, continuous footways across side roads, for example.

      So in fact the truth is the opposite of the myth – cycling actually gives people with physical disabilities more transport options and independence, not less.

        I saw a lady on a mobility scooter on roadways and having to cross intersections (no sidewalks available). I can promise you she would have felt much safer in a dedicated lane of some sort instead of sharing the road with hoods taller than her scooter.

        You do know you’re talking to a troll right?

          You’re right - I’ll stop feeding them.

      Additionally, when you build driving to be the only feasible option then those who cannot drive cannot get around. This includes but is not limited to the elderly, children, and those with disabilities.
