Hey look naked ableism
You have some options. Be a mature adult, apologize, recognize that stuff like this is real mobility assistive and rehab tech, or go the lemmy mod and admin route, double down and throw a hissy fit. Up to you.
OK but pedal wheelchairs are actually useful tools for folks with either limited mobility or in rehab from accidents/surgery.
And they make ones that are fucking fun, too

Difficult for Wheelchair user, end of the way for pedal Wheelchair users

I think the comparison still stands. It’s a narrow use case.
“Yeah, we shouldn’t care about LGBT+ folk especially Trans athletes there’s only like one of those” that’s you dude
They probably have chain guards. OPs looks… dangerous.
surely they wouldn’t be able to reach the pedals from where the seat is located? It’s not designed like a bike
That don’t make sense, with limited mobility it is more difficult to move a Wheelchair with pedals than walking, maybe with a cane or walker.
There’s all kinds of injuries or fatigue symptoms that may mean you can move your legs and sit, but you cannot stand…
On a flat surface, bikes expend less energy to use than walking. This actually makes total sense. Biking is also a kinder motion on joins than walking which is actually quite hard on knees.
Not the same a bike in the plane street than a wheelchair on the sidewalk with borders on the beginning and end, often problematic for people in wheelchairs in cities with too much obstacles for them.
thankfully it doesn’t need to make sense to you to be useful. they exist and are used by people with limited mobility
Way to be ableist.
depends on the mobility limitation
They should add bicycle pedals to a walker.
at least ride this would make fun
Kinda more like:

I don’t get it.
Why are people who use email or something unable to operate a chatbot?
In a pedal wheelchair? Come on
The meme is “giving a chatbot to an email user is like giving pedals to a paraplegic”
Why are email users comparable to paraplegics. What are they unable to do that everyone else can?
In a pedal wheelchair? Come on
This feels like clarifying with mud.
you’re misunderstanding the analogy. this is a fundamental problem with analogies.
I understand that adding an chatbot to an product don’t make it more practical, when you find even a Toaster with AI. Also an design made with ChatGPT insteatof research can also result in an absurd crap, halucinating not only in chats.
