It is not the willingness or the want it is the knees
and balance.   But your chastisment is understood and
accepted.  The fact is that special equipment is
special equipment. Thus if a 5 includes special
equipment required then it is logical to include
bicycles as special equipment.
I think that this would be a moot point if there were
another criteria or code on every site that is
accessablity. Even if the powers-to-be are not willing
to retrofit all existing data in the database with a
new field it should be something considered in the
future for new caches.

Thanks for the chiding
