MemberAnthony @ The World is Accessible
MemberI want to add a small foot rest to my scooter, but I can’t see any online. I have tried asking libraries that have 3D printers, and they are like yeah we can print it if you have the file. Has anyone worked with an organization that takes requests for help making a device / gadget?
I just discovered this YouTube video this morning which shows the accessibility on the Metro service in my hometown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5io392p6l0&t=339s
I had no idea that you can actually have a member of staff accompany you on your journey to ensure that the ramp is available at your destination. This video also made me feel…

Great to see this and thanks for sharing. It reflects the difference that a service adjustment can make for people who may need assistance which could be all of us at any time. Such an initiative does so much, it gives confidence and enables people, as well as empowering them to be able to travel independently or with friends and family.

Excellent points!
And thank you for the point about the batteries – I guess they are still getting used to scooters… (never been asked in my power wheelchair). I’m glad you made it!

I went to an outdoor Christmas market locally in Boston! Technically accessible but conditions of the ground were pretty bad, so I was happy to stay standing by the end lol… I am always tempted when I see holiday markets in Europe, but when I go outside in the cold I am always reminded that a big cold weather trip would not be a good idea for me!!!

What do you think of this device in comparison to mats and beach chairs etc?
