@medic1685 i believe that some schools have their architecture students spend a day in a wheelchair... its a good idea and will really make u realize how much easier life is out of a wheelchair and also helps young architects design with the wheelchair bound citizens in mind... i think all buildings should be wheelchair accessible...

hey i just did the same thing today at my college!! check out my blog experience!
-
more schools need 2 do that

I used a wheelchair experimentally for a semester on a really hilly campus. The hardest thing was trying not to tell outright lies about why I was using it, while still not giving away that I had no medical reason to be doing it. Tip: If the hill's too steep for your triceps, turn around and pull yourself up backwards using your biceps. Alternate as needed.

"It is nearly impossible to get around this campus in a wheelchair"? OK, so get people to do something about it! Based on what I've heard from someone in Second Life, it may be necessary to put those people in a wheelchair, that could do something about the accessibility of the campus.

they were using Quickie GPVs, the base price for a brand new GPV is less than $1000 USD and they sell on ebay second hand for $200 USD.
-
the GPV is classed as a lightweight chair, titanium chairs are classed as ultra lightweight. Aluminium can be lighter than some titanium options and you should keep in mind the bike industry ditched titanium ages ago.

whats the namme of the song of the ending?
beeing a wheelchair user myself, i deeply respect your effort to find out what it's like to in a wheelchair. maybe a suggestion for a next project, try spending a day in a major city , they often are a lot worse then a campus

I have heard reports of the difficulty in getting around in cities, especially if you have to call a taxi or take a bus. It would be very interesting to learn more about something like that. Thanks for your comment.
