[Unobstructed view of the two types of barrier here: #180736.] [Image taken 25.8.21] Entrance/exit Bootham Stray, Alder Way, New Earswick, York. [Note: No street view on Bootham Stray.] Andy (see: #173446) supports himself on the railings alongside the first of the two obstructions here. Louise lifts the handcycle (complete with Andy's crutches and water bottles) over the York barrier. Barriers remove the independence of the person with the mobility issues but also, when they mean someone has to lift something, can create health issues for the companion. And there will be times when that person cannot temporarily or permanently lift the other cycle. Cycles are also not clean, light or a regular shape. Next image today: #173451
