No? If I am biking in a separated bike lane, I can stop and move over onto the sidewalk where I am not in anyone's way. But IMO you should not be getting injured just trying to pedal a bike, maybe something like an ebike would reduce the physical excursion needed to pedal, reducing injury.

if you somehow sprain an ankle suffer a skinned knee you still need to bike back because you don't have a car with you.
