To give some more relevant examples of wheeled possessions: as a
pedestrian, you could also be pushing a baby carriage/stroller, be in
a wheelchair or be pushing a wheelchair, or be in a motorized
wheelchair.
Wheelchair could arguably be an access mode, but the baby stroller
seems to fall rather firmly into "possession" category - and so, to
me, would a pushed bicycle.
