npub16wsc9zvd9nrlys7ea82uv3az6zc804sxeu3vff4q0q8qy26sykgsf8sl6a (npub16ws…sl6a) No, please don't. Safety for disabled and elderly people — and our confidence to go out safely — also matters. We don't have to put one on hold to address the other.
I can cycle a bit at this phase of my recovery from spinal injury, so I belong to both groups, but I find it very frustrating that discussions about better cycling infrastructure (which I support) often consider accessibility for the disabled as a "let's leave it for later" thing. We have to drop the ableism.
