Re: The IBOT is Dead!
Living in central London, I can't even imagine life in a wheelchair. THREE of the about 50 tube stations in zones 1 and 2 are wheelchair accessible. Things were not built to be wheelchair friendly, with many buildings a few hundred years old. Retrofits are often roundabout and tricky to find, though I imagine things are a lot better than 10 years ago when the IBOT was first released. I was just on crutches for a while, and stairs where tricky and I avoided them when I could. They surprisingly hard to avoid, and going around was often a LONG way around.
Spend a day not using any step over 6 inches, not even in a wheelchair, and you will get a bit of an idea how different life would be. Wetzel |
