> If they can't walk, I suspect assisted living is the only option. No, as mentioned in my sibling comment (and in the post you linked to earlier!) bike infrastructure also helps people who can't walk. Mobility scooters work fine on a bike path and people who can't walk (or have trouble walking) are among those who would use one. You just need your city design to accommodate it. Bike paths help, as do ramps into buildings or ground-level entrances. (I really wish we could popularize a term other than "bike lanes" for these in the US to acknowledge that they're useful for far more than just bikes.)
