Cassian [main]You know when you're in a wheelchair and you've got silicone-coated push rims (not a silicone cover, part of the push rim) and it's raining and you have zero grip on your wheels and therefore also no brakes, right.Is there a solution to that?Edit: My wheels do have brakes, but I need my hands to be brakes as well, for slowing down and going round corners and suchlike.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/wheelchairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wheelchairs</a>

ahimsaThis is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps. Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.<a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disability</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/Wheelchairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wheelchairs</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/DynamicDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DynamicDisability</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChronicIllness</a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/MEcfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MEcfs</a>
