Here in Calgary, we have urban sprawl in a bad way. When I dislodge the iatrogenic fibroid neuroma out of the car seat, my first goal is to find the
nearest shopping cart that I can use as a walker.

It seems the city has decided that asphalt sidewalks might
be better.
I like the idea as the 6-8 inch dropoffs are deadly.
hey id rather drive on the sidewalk than the road anyway.

Regarding wheelchair configuration - I know you're not using one, but
it's time to update devices to better deal with obstacles. Back in the
day -
before my time - didn't they put the big wheel on front? I imagine there would
be a good reason to abandon that layout (Brainstorming, that the wobbly bits
would be delayed in doing their damage.) but maybe the chair itself
could use
some adaptation. I'm sure I'm being altruistic, and I *know* my
ignorance is
deeper than those sink-holes, but if Mohamid aint going to go to the mountain...

I have nerve damage on my hip. AKA: *The* neuroma. Short of laying flat with
the knees elevated, I run the risk of the thing firing needlessly. The
rub is,
I rarely notice the damage until I get secondary symptoms. Finding a comfortable sitting position is always a compromise, and the worst is getting
in and out of a chair. Wheelchair ramps, and accessible parking is of little
help when I have to cart the Caracas 1/4 mile to a meeting.
What is this forum about anyway?

modifications to the buggy could be a better plan.
the suspention is totaly dependant on the amount of
air in the tires
Maybe some kind of spring under the seat part would help.
Ive seen those newer type power wheelchairs the front
wheels are the bigger ones
I wonder if I could get abt 8 miles of travel with
one of those.

Hi, Doug! Recently you wrote in a message to James Bradley:
[re power chair vs. scooter]
modifications to the buggy could be a better plan.
Maybe. If your scooter is no longer meeting your needs & you qualify for Medicare, however, you may get a bit of help with the cost
of a wheelchair. The procedure here is to contact an occupational therapist via the local health unit. S/he will assess the situation & explain it to the "bean counters". :-)
the suspention is totaly dependant on the amount of
air in the tires
In a power chair, the drive wheels may be filled with air (giving the user a softer ride) or with foam (meaning you needn't worry about flat tires if you run over a nail or some bits of broken glass, as our daughter has).... :-)Now thats an idea :)
I wonder if I could get abt 8 miles of travel with
one of those.
Probably. Most brands advertise "up to" ten or twelveI Think in order to find a (dealership) I would need to get out
miles... but a lot depends on the terrain! If it's uphill, you may get considerably less than that and/or find the chair slowing to a crawl on your return home. I'd suggest you borrow or rent at least one example before making a final decision. Around these parts various dealers are usually quite co-operative in that regard. :-)
P.S.
I have a Flyer 3 wheeled buggy and the sidewalks are
the last place I care to travel unless im in need of
a laxative effect.
With a power chair, an unexpected drop of more than a few
inches over a curb or a gap in the pavement may result in a broken front wheel. I know two people who have had such experiences. That is a consideration as well.... ;-)

ee er the nerve damage I have is all in my head literaly.
my white blood cells have decided my nerves dont need all
there shielding so they tend to short circate.
They Call it Multiple sculeroisis hey the doc's say I wont die from it
but will likely die with it.
Fun fun.
So now I have the fun of figureing out medicare. around 20 years early.
Yea crip would be a noticable echo tag.

Now thats an idea :)
I have a lawn tractor that I bought a bottle of that green
gook for the tires, it seems to work.
I Think in order to find a (dealership) I would need to
get out of these bushes and goto Albany, NY or Concord NH.
I cant even getem to work on mine here, They site Liability
issues :(
Well Springfield here is a river valley city. Every where I
may go means buggying down off this hill and getting back up
after.
The "Flyer" i have has done around 7 miles (4.5 hours) but I
have not run it till dead eather.
