New 3 min video: Electric Bicycle for wheelchairs changed my life. Find out why Carlos leaves his car at home and rolls on Barcelona's bike and roll lane network. Is this what you think of when you hear #climateaction? www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUOT... #wheelchair #cycling

Electric Bicycle for Wheelchai...

Great to see more than just bicycles rolling on #yyj bike & roll lanes today, on my way home from pride. Kids were doing 8 km/h & folks on the #wheelchair more like 14 km/h. All works fine. Lots of smiles.

(Saffron:) Our instance's admin encouraged us to post our short videos directly on here, so here we are!

Amber's wheelchair isn't attached to her! It can be purchased for *any* mini-size bee we've made.

(Saffron:) What is the preferred way of sharing short videos on here? I'm assuming if we share many of them, that is a lot for the server. I've uploaded it to Loops - does a Loops link work? https://loops.video/v/9mdlxKd28E I would upload it to MakerTube, but I'm getting a "404 not found" error there (maybe it's dead).

Video description: an ace pride striped bumblebee named Amber, made out of chenille yarn, zooms down the street (pillow) in a knitted wheelchair. A black and yellow version, named Cecelia, sees her and asks about her wheelchair. Amber shows off by zooming away. Cecelia says "wow!" The ending shows them side by side, saying "We can be adopted!" Underneath it says "(link in bio)"

Note: The bees do not move during the shots. They were moved in between and the effect of zooming was done by moving the camera.

Do you know that with #OpenStreetMap data, #wheelchair navigation is possible in the #OsmAnd app?

Another tool that can help enrich wheelchair access data. is https://wheelmap.org, which is an easy-to-use thematic editor, though you can use always use your favorite editor.

Mon fauteuil roulant est une œuvre d'art !

Speed up or you're not gonna make it

Ça y est ! Mon nouveau fauteuil roulant est personnalisé !
En plus de ma pochette et son patch "This Machine Kills Fascists" (et le badge de l'AUF, les jeunes travailliste norvégien assassinés par Anders Brievik en juillet 2011), j'ai rajouté sur le dossier un patch (tenu par des épingles à nourrice, punk !) de la Louise Michel, navire de sauvetage en mer, une ancienne vedette des douanes françaises, financé par Banksy, commandé par Pia Klemp.

Bonjour, #FediFriends! This one is about giving some to modes of transports / personal needs we could focus on instead of just cars, not sure if that comes across? (At first this was only about bikes but that felt a bit boring and exclusory.)

#Icons by #TheNounProject!

On the hunt for a front wheel with suspension to add to the knock-off Frogs Legs forks on my wheelchair.
If anyone knows of any ~7" castor wheels with shock absorption / suspension on the wheel itself could you get in touch please?

Are you still calling bike & roll lanes 'bike lanes'? If so, why? www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xC1... #yyj #yyjbike #wheelchair

Why Sandra Hough Rolls on Vict...

I’ve been on a bit of a journey into mobility aids this past 6 months or so after a small personal windfall and being granted PIP.
I bought Rhonda the rollator a couple of months ago and she’s helped a lot but I’d also been looking for a chair.

It’s not the easiest thing to find a mobility aid even if you don’t have varying needs and are also A Fat.

I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for.

Something that would fit me and also fit into our car seemed impossible or at least horrifically expensive.

But I think I’ve found a power chair that ticks all the boxes. It supports my weight, has multiple battery options and folds down. It’s not cheap (£1k) but it’s just about within my budget if I do it sensibly.

Now all I need to do is convince my brain I’m not being monumentally dramatic and lazy.
