Or,

I enjoy an activity and take engaging in it for granted because I am able bodied.

I don't want to share that enjoyment with others who may also be able to engage in it via the use of adaptive technology.

Oh, they can do it - I just don't want to acknowledge or talk about it or have it talked about around me.

But otherwise, I'm fine with it

Maybe I'm a little hot about the subject but I'm a physical rehab assistant and my job, day in and day out, is to assist people so they can walk. Just walk. They could only dream about bike touring. Dissing people because of disabilities or trying to exclude them from participation because it makes able bodied people feel imposed upon gets zero respect from me.
