I’m all for replacing cars with cycling when possible, but please remember that many of us are disabled and can’t cycle even on good days. We need cars to get where we’re going, and we need to not have to feel more guilt for being disabled.

@ Phoebe it’s woke to request alt text. People are good at performative access. People are bad at testing for low vision— I’m mean did you see my email about how bad PCS chair is for me?

Everybody’s name is cut off and there are no pictures of people so I can’t tell who people are…
