    I’m disabled in a way that means I can’t use one, but can use a car, which kinda sucks.

    Fortunately bike infrastructure usually helps me in my chair, so I’m all in favor of wider bike adoption.

      I don’t know your limitations, but you’d be surprised at the number of ways cycling can be made accessible.

      For example, there are handbikes that attach to a wheelchair. As with all assistive tech it depends on your specific situation what is possible.

        I’ve frequently seen a couple of people with recumbent hand bikes on one of the popular trails near me. They’re decently fast with the reduced air resistance, but road crossings are a bit of a hassle when you aren’t tall enough to be seen by an f450

          Mount a flag to it. Quad bikes often add them so you can see them behind obstacles.

      That blows. Glad the infrastructure helps your chair get around, though. Also, every biker not using a car gives you more space, so that’s an additional plus
