From Bucky's pic: do they have any regulation against disable persons using the bike-path? Bycicles are very useful vehicles, using only about 35 calories taking one person 0.6 km. while a bus would use 920, and a medium car would be 1,860 ( a Hummer would be 27,870- Grrrrr..what's its driver thinking!!) The disable person's wheelchair would be using similar energy to a bycicle. I don't see why both couldn't share the path, they will have very lively conversation even.

Frankly, I don't think cyclist will use that bicycle path. Its a small pathway and Sukhumvit Road is a very busy street day and night and always walking with people. I also don't encourage people to cycle in Bangkok.... its too dangerous with the pot holes and reckless drivers and riders.
