The population is ageing. The idea that everyone will use bicycles is ableist nonsense.

Electric tricycles are safer for elderly people than even walking. They're far safer than having them drive a car.

What's ableist about saying we need more people using bicycles? Read carefully what was written above. More. bicycles. Nothing in there mentions that everyone needs to use a bicycle.

Are you saying we can never argue for more bicycle use because that's somehow ableist?
