What an excellent thread.cycle tramp wrote: ↑6 Jan 2022, 9:46pm If your local council prevents anyone using a bicycle to access a service which is available to car users then you can argue against the ban using both the arguments of green travel and social inclusion.
No council should be offering a two tiered system where certain services are denied to segments of the population who do not have access to the same tools.
I think it may be possible to argue secondary discrimination on the basis that many people with a disability use their bicycles (tricycles, quadricycles, tandems etc) as a mobility aid and are unable to access the service otherwise. Which argument may also ability to mobility scooters, or various adapted microcars (once we get around to allowing them generally).

But TBH the "cycle access to tips" argument has a feel of one which is on the way to being comprehensively won.
