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
