It is true #BikeCulture is ableist garbage 🙃
Nobody using a mobility scooter, non/powered wheelchair can utilize #Space4Cycling to navigate cities. Protected/raised intersections, narrow street & pedestrian refuges are no help to young or old
Or maybe, car culture is ableist... https://twitter.com/Cupcakes_n_Rap/status/1182151360382488576

Your #BikeCulture is ablest garbage: Or is it? đŸ€” https://twitter.com/Austin_Health/status/1182566545391804417?s=20
"Your cool 'bike culture' is ableist garbage."
Again I beg to differ đŸ€” https://twitter.com/Wheels4Well/status/1183035716311420928?s=20
Honestly I see no reason to let this go. I'll add to this thread as I find tweets of inclusive cycling
Whatever cool 'bike culture' is, it isn't "ableist garbage" https://twitter.com/Catrionamc74/status/1183049788968886274?s=20
Cool #BikeCulture" https://twitter.com/Wheels4Well/status/1183638848754126849?s=20
Cool bike culture = accessibility for all ages/abilities https://twitter.com/itsakev/status/1185218662367518720?s=19
Cool bike culture = freedom & independence for children & adults alike https://twitter.com/DameSarahStorey/status/1186595817999745025?s=20
Our cool bike culture: https://twitter.com/thismombikes/status/1189192441057828865?s=19
Still not letting this die: Our cool bike culture lobbies hard for inclusive #Space4Cycling https://twitter.com/DameSarahStorey/status/1197923912690098181?s=20
Another example of ableist garbage!?
No, just more enabling #Space4Cycling helping people get the most out of life what ever their individual needs đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž https://twitter.com/BORP_org/status/1197917984544542720?s=20
Providing proper/safe #Space4Cycling will do more to promote an inclusive welcoming "Cycling Culture" than anything, it isn't just about freedom & independence either, quality of life is important too https://twitter.com/WeAreCyclingUK/status/1198632439708561411?s=20
Keeping this thread alive, this is why I advocate for generous & accessible #Space4Cycling w/ room for trikes & adapted cycles +2m for 'one way' cycletracks https://twitter.com/WeAreCyclingUK/status/1199274124960555008?s=20
A little sporty for this thread, maybe. Shows the frame of ableist in cycling obscures much of the picture đŸ€” https://twitter.com/2_Wheeled_Wolf/status/1199317649638993921?s=20
Becoming less controversial among cycling advocates all the time, & positively mainstream among #ottbike folks: Your 'Walk Your Bike' sign is the ablest nonsense not our 'bike culture' 🙄

#BikeCulture 😍 https://twitter.com/BYCS_org/status/1201804980023418881?s=20
We get the cyclists we design for: Inclusive #Space4Cycling brings inclusive cycling culture https://twitter.com/modacitylife/status/1166372530715860994?s=19
#BikeCulture is inclusive & freeing w/o age or restrictions
Bringing Joy to the world is as simple as a little <cough> lot <cough> quality #Space4Cycling 😉 https://twitter.com/age_cycling/status/1208069813903466497?s=20
Keeping this thread alive; this time a little more... assertive voice đŸ€” My #BikeCulture is accessible & inclusive https://twitter.com/2_Wheeled_Wolf/status/1208402626821443587?s=20
Keeping thread alive w/ timely reminder from @2_Wheeled_Wolf not to erase the voice/experience of actually disabled people who are active participants in #BikeCulture #Space4Cycling https://twitter.com/2_Wheeled_Wolf/status/1220043243972440065?s=19
A reminder that #Space4Cycling inclusive #BikeCulture work together to create truly inclusive accessible cities that will benefit even those who cannot cycle https://twitter.com/BrentToderian/status/1226525934401945601?s=20

The idea that "cycle culture" (whatever that really is) or #Space4Cycling is ableist needs to be put to bed cycling truly is for everyone. Not just for the young & fit... https://twitter.com/ellispalmer94/status/1262303906153074688?s=19
Keeping this thread alive w/ this story abt The amputee gravel-racing hero: Leo Rodgers - Cycling Culture both sport & transport is truly not reserved for young & fit https://twitter.com/polina_marinova/status/1269786277500661763?s=20
Remember this when some NIMBY opposes #Space4Cycling as 'elitist serving only the rich, young & fit' #Cycling is inclusive serving v/ young & old, as well as all inbetween https://twitter.com/SilkeRichard/status/1271844709519024128?s=20
Keeping this thread alive #BikeCulture despite myths #bikelash try to push is inclusive & accessible to all, in one form or another, keep this in mind when advocating/planning/building #Space4Cycling https://twitter.com/VanRaamBikes/status/1279716652330999808?s=20
Keeping thread alive: Bike Culture = Ableist is #bikelash nonsense #BikeCulture & #Space4Cycling is for everyone https://twitter.com/CrippledCyclist/status/1284500374498533376?s=19
There is more to "Bike Culture" than fit young(ish) men in tight clothes 🙄 Yet often calls for #Space4Cycling, are met w/ accusations of being selfish & ableist, but the truth is: "Bikes are a Mobility Assistive Device, too" https://twitter.com/betterbikeshare/status/1288232766212055040?s=20
While many assumptions are made about those who call for quality #Space4Cycling in cities, towns, & beyond the truth is the best way to enable people to choose not just the bike, but any alternative to the car is to provide safe dedicated/connected routes https://twitter.com/RootedInRights/status/1288227968020430848?s=20
Keeping this thread alive to remind proper #Space4Cycling is inclusive of age & ability. When people accuse 'Bike Cultureℱ' of being 'Ableist' I'll call foul.
My 'Bike Cultureℱ' is accessible/inclusive welcoming all 😍 https://twitter.com/dizzymabil/status/1300068879448903682?s=20
This is 'Bike Cultureℱ'! When #bikelash accounts pushback against #Space4Cycling w/ charges of ableism & privilege, it is these intergenerational moments of joy that will be derailed, not the 'New Golf MAMIL' sportsing on country lanes đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž https://twitter.com/JuliewhittHall/status/1300157788992176130?s=20
If you dismiss 'Bike Cultureℱ' as ablest & pushback against #Space4Cycling you are erasing these v/ real people who w/ proper accommodating infrastructure/equipment will be able to choose cycling for all sorts of trips 😍 https://twitter.com/TRECpdx/status/1287910109427822593?s=20
Keeping this thread alive: Our "cool bike culture" is inclusive & welcoming. Not at all what ableist #bikelash tells you, proper #Space4Cycling IS social justice allowing freedom of movement & transportation choices for people... https://twitter.com/KirstyLewin/status/1305087776094904320?s=20
The Claim: #Space4Cycling only serves fit youngish rich men & is therefore; abelist, sexist, classist garbage & your "cool bike culture" is garbage đŸ€Ź
The Reality: https://twitter.com/JonIrwinLD/status/1309851459744391170?s=20
Keeping this thread alive (don't @ me to say 'actually bike culture IS ableist', you'll get an earful). Oh, & this lovely lady is actually a repeat posting from June đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž https://twitter.com/SilkeRichard/status/1323322650257694720?s=20
Occasional reminder that whatever 'Bike Culture' is it isn't automatically or even normatively exclusionary/ableist adaptive cycles exist and are a key part of culture where enabled https://twitter.com/boyonabike62/status/1331285063950995456?s=19
Here, a yet another example of what #BikeCulture's asking for & how we seek to enable, not just encourage, everyone to choose to cycle - if it is right for them. The temporary lanes in this video are what's needed to enable this. Don't remove, build more😍 https://twitter.com/theJeremyVine/status/1332742014883012609?s=20
There is a particular subset on #bikelash that needs to tar #BikeCulture & #Space4Cycling as ableist to silence & block advocates seeking an equitable & accessible city. People w/ disabilities cycle for leisure, transport, & sport
Their Erasure is ableist https://twitter.com/KatyCycles/status/1336074908879687686?s=19
More & better #Space4Cycling isn't exclusive or ableist. People w/ Disabilities cycle too. Need awareness to ensure compromises that exclude adapted cycles/trikes aren't made, ever. Better is always possible. https://twitter.com/KirstyLewin/status/1350487251277541378?s=20
Keeping this thread going w/ periodic reminder that the fight for #Space4Cycling is a fight for inclusion & accessibility. All ages/abilities, no barriers đŸ€© https://twitter.com/Wheels4Well/status/1351547440516706306?s=19
Here is another disabled cyclist on why properly built/maintained dedicated #Space4Cycling is important even in winter Halifax Bicycle Mayor: https://twitter.com/BikeMayorHfx/status/1353052850629144576?s=20
The "Wadda 'bout the disabled. Not everyone is able bodied", seemingly to every #Space4Cycling (or pedestrian) proposal gets tired As Eric says: Good #Space4Cycling is way more inclusive than #carsick status quo: https://twitter.com/EricEatsPickles/status/1355564562196688903?s=20
Of course not EVERYONE can cycle for transport or sport. Of course that is true of driving too đŸ€” With a little adaptation cycling can become an option for more people. My #BikeCulture is inclusive đŸ€© https://twitter.com/VanRaamBikes/status/1356633153029439488?s=19
My cool #BikeCulture includes adapted cycles 😍 https://twitter.com/ellispalmer94/status/1356183362235486208?s=20
