[url= https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/jan/02/cambridge-disabled-people-cycling-rolling-walking-stick ]Guardian article on the bicycle as a rolling walking stick.[/url]

This raises quite a few interesting points, eg access, kerbs, bollards etc that I hadn't previously regarded as anything more than a nuisance.

And also the "Cyclists must dismount" garbage.

It’s a great article - I know lots of people for whom the bike or trike is a lifeline,
