I wondered: in addition to being owned and operated by people with disabilities, does the cooperative offer bikes with modifications for people with disabilities? (I.e., bikes with both brakes on one side for people with one hand, pedal attachments to reduce the turning radius for people who can't bend their knees all that far, etc.) Small adaptations like these can go a long way in making bike transportation more accessible.
Thanks!
