I have to wonder if there's a tag for strollers. For example, the
TriMet mass transit system is effectively foot=designated,
bicycle=destination, stroller=no systemwide, enforced with fines (as
strollers are, by design, not used by fare-paying passengers (kids are
the future, but today belongs to me), and take away badly needed space
from bicycle and wheelchair access (required by the ADA: Bicycles are a
common mobility device for people who have good balance but difficulty
walking more than a hundred feet or so, as powerchairs tend to short out
and manual chairs turn you into a wet, greasy mess most of the year in
our weather; and able-bodied bicycle commuters take cars off our
crowded streets. This also makes me wonder how to tag a bike rack that
is reserved exclusively for handicapped users).
