    I got my ebike in winter. If I took a car I would still need winter gear once I get out. Plus, I’m supposed to schedule exercise for myself in the day anyway - doing it on a bike just means I accomplish it in transit.

        Micromobility expands options for disabled people though all sorts of devices. One of my friends is a paraplegic and rides his Bowhead all over the place (looks badass too).

        Around half of disabled people can’t drive, but everyone who can drive can use some kind of micro-mobility.

          Even some who cannot drive can still use some sort of micromobility.

          Hell, IMO, a powered wheelchair totally counts as micromobility.

        I genuinely don’t know why you’re so pissed and toxic about the idea of it. If you can’t, you can’t, no one force you to do it.

              Huh, thanks for letting me know. I hopped on the home instance and banned them again just in case it wasn’t syncing from fedia.io - the account is definitely banned from this community.

              FYI - Banning them doesn’t remove their posts.

              Banning people who disagree with you, now that’s toxicity

                Your comment was “disagreeing” with someone else entirely and you are clearly here to harass people, but nice try I guess.

                We have just 1 rule here: Don’t be an asshole.

                You repeatedly broke it.
