    <p>I agree completely, and Heavy Metal Handcyclist was one of the
      accessibility advocates I was thinking of, along with riders whose
      bikes give them mobility while being harder to recognise as
      mobility aids (e.g. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://twitter.com/tricyclemayor">https://twitter.com/tricyclemayor</a> ). Then
      there's the gentleman who parked his e-bike outside Lidl, unfolded
      his walking stick, and went off to do his shopping as I was
      loading my bike - he wouldn't be doing much pushing.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>I'm an able-bodied bike tourist so my difficulties are mere
      irritations compared to the trouble some people have (pretty big
      irritations when I have to lift it over a gate because the gap
      it's supposed to be pushed through is too tiny and it weighs 40kg
      laden - but irritations nonetheless)<br>
    </p>
    <p>BTW I'm wary of deleting anything myself, let alone deleting to
      replace with another way of recording.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>I had routing issues on Sunday where Komoot had used OSM data to
      route us up something labelled "public footpath" and not loking
      much like it was designed to be ridden
      (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/119859473">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/119859473</a> is my attempt
      to fix).  I think<br>
