The policy aim should be: "Everyone is able to cycle".

Pundits who misconstrue it as: "All journeys should be done by bicycle" are really unhelpful.

Bike infrastructure isn’t about catering to existing cyclists. It’s about opening up access, independence, and opportunity for those who can't drive.

Cities that invest in cycling are actively choosing to give more people the freedom to move through their communities.

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.

If there is an accommodation so desirable that a problematic number of people are “faking” disability (doubt!!) to access it, that shows it’s an accommodation that could have wide social benefit is implemented in abundance. This is often the case with accommodations generally.

I agree that it's worth considering.
It's also a great argument for #UniversalDesign for learning.
