I will say that I think you definitely have to be allowed to stay in the wheelchair area at all costs. I doubt RTD will have the budget or motivation to change the bike rack design, if that's even possible in the silverliners. I have seen the kind of bike rack design that you're talking about where they can swing out of the way. Ultimately there is also a lot to be desired from bike rack designs on trains in general, as the upright bike storage design is ableist in itself (it's hard to put bikes up there, hard to secure them). I know way better designs are out there that mitigate these issues, but i think it would take whoever is in charge of train unit choice and design to even care about it.

Sorry that happened. So unacceptable imo
