Perks of being a Wheeler :)

Lol good thread Europedude! :-)

Ok heres mine....u always have a seat which can be pretty handy! I love wheeling fast downhill mostly lol but then tend to worry i wont be able to stop in time :-0 You can give rides in your chair :-p
Wheeling is pretty good exercise too and also you never wear your shoes out :-) il think of some more soon!


I think that i should add that on the whole, as a community of 'wheelers' we arent really a moaning bunch although its healthy to air and vent feelings of frustrations and challenges, its good to strike a balance though :-)

You're not going to fall very far when you've had a good night on the beer . . .

Great thread Europedude!

Using the power chair is definitely fun sometimes. It's nice being able to travel far and not get tired (power chair). Doing wheelchair skills in the manual chair is fun. People are generally nicer to us which is awesome as well!

Great concert seating usually.

You get bumped to the front of the line a lot.

You get to stay on rides at amusement parks for multiple rides without getting in line again.

It is also a cat bed...

I like being able to go fast again in my chair, and not being as afraid of falling as when I am upright. Also like knowing that I will have a comfy seat wherever I am, reduces pain. Have to agree with DJ and @kilgoretrout that people are generally kinder to us!
