Yep. You see people using electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters in the cycleways in Auckland :)

What works for two wheels also works for three or four or six.

Lifts need regular maintenance and TLC; if they become non-functional, step-free access is no longer possible.

A lift can be a single point of failure.

Ramps, by contrast, very rarely fail.

You increasingly see people in powered wheelchairs using the cycleways in Auckland. The benefits of smooth, continuous rights of way are relevant beyond the needs of bicycle riders.

The curb cut wasn't designed for you. The caption wasn't either. And yet you've used both today. Accessibility doesn't serve a minority — it builds the floor everyone walks on.

Accessibility should be boring
