Disabled cyclist denied access to Brighton Pier.
Imagine my surprise when walking my diminutive folding bike towards
the entrance to the pier I was denied access. Most people are unaware that disabled cyclists are widely discriminated against, compared to say manual and motorised wheelchair users, but at least disabled cyclists are allowed to wheel their bikes in such places as railways stations and along pavements. I suffer from a condition that makes walking difficult and painful but much less so with cycling. Also, walking the bike has similar benefits to using a walking frame. Still, I did have the consolation of not parting with my money to the traders on the pier. Doug. |
