I've always wondered: how do disabled people get around in cities designed for bicycle travel? Mostly those powered wheelchairs? If so, how did they get around before the invention of those? (The answer in America has always been 'you put them in a car, and then they can go wherever a car can go.')



You see a lot of those electric wheelchairs. There are also special buses provided by the council. Disabled people get a personal budget for stuff like help in house and a mobility budget. Because, you know, you need to look after the weakest members of society.
