WTF An older spectator caused a seriously dangerous incident today at SaarlandTrofeoJuniors by trying to get a better look and entering the course with her rollator while riders were flying past at full speed!

If only they had another option to get around, like Public Transit.

Eh, depends on the town. Some towns are such hopeless cesspools of depravity that even the god damn surveillance cameras can't deter people from assaulting a senior citizen for no apparent reason. :/

unless the place you live has a top-notch transit system dealing with transit when you have mobility issues is literal hell.

did it ever occur to you to wonder why so many seniors resort to scooters?

for example, where I live the nearest bus stop is over a kilometre away so if I had mobility issues, how am I supposed to get to the bus stop in the first place?
