“I use a wheelchair and I want more bike lanes”:
1. Many disabled people use bikes.
2. Many of us consider our electric bikes, scooters and trikes to be mobility devices.
3. Lots of people cannot drive
4. More people using cycleways means fewer cars on the road, which makes it easier for disabled and chronically ill people who use cars
