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.


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?

He went there on a day trip, using a motorised vehicle (a coach). He has
previously told us that he does not like travelling in vehicles that use
diesel power.
He has told us that he would not use a diesel powered train. Most
Brighton trains are electric, *I wonder why he did not use one of them?


Perhaps he used the most convient method of travel for him, something
that he complains if others do.


Can anybody think of a word that describes such a person?


Does it begin with H?


Hippopotamus?
