Thank you for listening to this PSA.

The Dutch do have this thing, which fits a wheelchair and can go in bike lanes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canta_(vehicle)
And there are accessibility aids for cars, like accelerator and brake paddles for the wheel rather than pedals, but, to me, if we're talking accessibility aids that allow someone to travel independently, cars and bikes are, at least, equal.
That's neat! There are also solutions to this problem in the motorcycle community, but AFAIK nothing mass-produced so it all tends to be custom made and expensive.
