It really gets down to the fact that capitalism and a capitalistic society
has one aim and one aim only. If profits and compensation packages are
obscene, things are working the way they should... right? It's always been a
system whose underlying basis is greed and taking advantage of others not as
fortunate as oneself. It's done with a blind eye to those who are most
harmed. I'm not saying it's fair but it's the world we live in.

I don't think that anyone's saying the "everyone must use bicycles". Hell,
I say even if you don't enjoy it, you shouldn't do it.
However, there are alternatives, such as "adult tricycles" that suit
certain disabilities. Some of these things are pretty high-tech, and
built for racing, so they're light and fast. For those without use of
their legs, handcranks are available.
