Some of these comments are so bizarre that they could only be made by AI

Do people here really not grasp the difference between a disabled person being forced to use a wheelchair - which they can’t get out of casually and stretch about - vs a fit person willingly using a bicycle?

What is the malfunction?

> I don’t think most bicycles are designed for 16 hours of daily use…

Was stated. The answer directly to the statement was:

> In nations where bicycles are the norm, I would not be surprised if many of them get used 12+ per day. NYC is awash in bicycle couriers, and they probably ride all the time.

No AI needed.

Looks like it might be necessary for interpretation, though. That's not something I have any control over.

BTW: I am quite familiar with Serving disabled folks. That's pretty much my job, at home.

I’ve noticed that the most racist, ableist, you name it, individuals are the people who most claim to defend the group in question.

I guess this might be because strong opinions are best formed from a surface level understanding of a subject, while intricate and complex opinions require deeper understanding.
