Electric wheelchairs are likely the best option for the first group. Good thing is making an area better for walking makes it better for disabled people as well. A car centric area is extremely hostile for people with disabilities which make it difficult/illegal to drive.

I am all for improvements in such areas, unfortunately even in countries like Germany, there are plenty of local subway stations and local train ones where those requirements are just ignored.

There are cars specially tailored for people with disabilities, and electric wheelchairs are only practicable in sunny weather.

In the Netherlands, at least, electric wheelchairs are out in all weather.

Yes, some people enjoy arriving all wet to the workplace.

This comment is clearly silly, since in the Netherlands - a rather rainy country - approximately 25% of people commute to work by bicycle.

You can wear a coat and rain trousers if you feel like it.

I know they do, doesn't mean I want to, and have cycled during Swiss and Scandinavian winters during a couple of years about 20 years ago.

No one wants to wear rain pants. The point is that it is a nice compromise. Amsterdam used to be a car focused city till the late 70s-- and now it is much nicer.
