If you are a disabled person who uses a wheelchair you are allowed to
go places that a disabled cyclist is not. Even if you are a disable
motorist you can carry a wheelchair in your boot which would allow you
to go where cyclists are not, such as pavements, railway platforms and
stations and places like Brighton Pier which discriminate against
disabled cyclists and are still allowed to get away with it.


The number of times it's been suggested that bicycles can carry huge
amounts of luggage, shopping etc I'm surprised you don't take your
wheelchair with you. *After all, you've posted pics of your trailer, I'm
sure that would accommodate a wheelchair.

I have posted no such pics. I was deliberately and misleadingly made
out to be someone else. The pics were posted by a spiteful motorist
trying to get their own back. As I have some difficulty cycling anyway
how do you imagine a loaded trailer would help?

Beats me why you're so worried about Brighton, have you moved there, and
how did you move? *Or was this just a holiday, you know, frivolous
hyper-mobility that you've often moaned about in the past?
