Big Wheels Keep on Turnin'

Now, I know that bicycles are supposed to ride on the street and obey the same traffic laws as cars (however, I think they should make a sidewalk-friendly exception for going in low gear up a steep incline, because getting stuck behind a bicyclist going 1.3mph is just not fun for anyone). But what about wheelchairs? In downtown Atlanta, it's apparently an unwritten law that they, too, must share the streets with automobiles. The law must also plainly state that weaving dangerously back and forth within the lane while brandishing your schnapps-filled hand at passers-by is greatly encouraged. Two wheels and a joystick do not a street-worthy vehicle make.
