    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 ?

          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.

              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”.

      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.
