Suggesting people should bike isn't ableist, or, at least, is no more ableist than suggesting people should drive.

Thank you for listening to this PSA.

    the no driving for epileptics is probably an insurance thing because of the property damage. a trike or something is safer for everybody especially if that guy wears a helmet.

      A large swath of epileptics can feel seizures coming, so bikes are perfect because you can just dismount before it starts. Speaking from experience, biking makes my life so much easier and ebikes have allowed me to get around without having to depend on others for rides or use my town's limited and unreliable public transit. Also the 6 month thing is state law. Radpower also just released its first electric trike for people concerned about stability on ebikes.

          They even bought a car recently but they don’t have a license so their boyfriend drives it.

          Why would you buy something that costs tens of thousands of dollars that you can't use?! As for thefts, in my area more apartments/rental places have indoor bike storage which I really appreciate.
