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.

    Often times it's genuinely nonsensical. Like a lot of the strike busting tactics around gig workers has been weaponizing ableism, but the suggestion that people with disabilities use doordash for every meal, instacart all their groceries, or take uber everywhere seems genuinely unbelievable. I'm sure some do, but I doubt the average person can afford that.

      At which point we should ask that if those services are so vitally necessary for the survival of the disabled, should they be in the hands of private, profit-driven companies?
