People with trouble walking, service vehicles, delivery trucks, and such are fine. Literally nobody says they shouldn’t get to drive. They also represent like .001% of city traffic.

"...actively hostile to cars"

"...disabled people that depend on their own cars"

People with most disabilities can't have driver license. But they have powered wheelchairs.

That's a couple of bad assumptions right there but let's put aside your narrow conception of what disabled means, you're still OK with fucking over some disabled people.

There are disability adapted bikes that cover a wide range of physical disabilities (I've seen up to even only a single arm and head movements). I'm curious what disabilities would actually require exclusively a car for transportation and for which custom bikes wouldn't be enough, do you know of any ?

Bikes require to keep balance. Powered wheelchairs do not.

is the concept of a trike really that unfathomable to you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

There's one in the original picture too lol

You said bike

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

you will find that most people use "bicycle" as a general term for basically anything of vaguely that shape and function.

no one (and i use that in the modern sense of "effectively no one", before you um ackshually me on that) says "cargo tricycle", they say "cargo bike" or "bakfiets", and bakfiets just means "cargo/box bike".

Yeah, three-wheeled bikes still count as bikes imo, they're much closer to being bikes than cars.

But I have nothing against powered wheelchair obviously, they aren't cars.

Everyone who does not have two good eyes, two arms and at least one leg can't legaly obtain driver's licese. Meanwhile powered wheelchair does not have such restrictions. Even person with one working muscle can drive powered wheelchair.

That's a subset of disabled people & people without the use of legs or a arm can drive they just need a vehicle with special controls.powered wheelchairs don't fulfill all travel needs.
