It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

A lot of those people aren't ever travelling more than 5 miles. A cargo-bike with some electrical aid makes biking accesible for most anyone.
If you are disabled driving isn't really an option in most cases.
Most of the things that make bikes unacessible is inadequate infrastructure and an over-reliance on cars. Kids can't drive cars, they can ride bikes. If you have traffic that is safe enough for kids to bike on their own, then you have suddenly freed up their parents from having to transport them. The world is now also accesible to children.
It is easier for a walking-impaired person to cross a bike lane than a road. Bike-centric infrastructure is also more accesible for those that cannot ride bikes.
Bike-centric infrastructure requires not just bike paths, but a placement of daily needs within about 15 minutes radius. This placement again means that it is more accesible for the physically impaired - especially when combined with public transport.
Cars are inacessible.
