Yes, but... Businesses are obligated to attempt reasonable accommodation of disability. That does not mean that you get to dictate to them what they must do. Your request must be about a provable and legitimately recognizable disability. Your request must be 'reasonable' under the circumstances. If your bike is too big for operation that is effective and safe for you AND other customers, then no, you'll have to use a real wheelchair.

If and when you are denied legally required accommodation, if they violated those rules, contact me for the legal help you'll need. I'll be happy to do so. I've been doing these cases for over 20 years.
