5 WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL PROS

SHARE THEIR BEST “HACKS”


Sylvia Longmire 
Hack 2: thick front tires

Sylvia’s visited 57 countries so far, 48 as a wheelchair user and 34 by herself. 

Because Europe and other places have bumpy sidewalks and streets, she’s kitted her power wheelchair with thick front tires.

“Many power chairs have small front wheels that get stuck or bump you to death. 

The front wheels are big on mine,” she said.

“Plus, my chair easily comes apart in three sections so that it can be stored in the trunk of a taxi. 

Some places have great accessible public transit, but others do not, and you need to take a standard cab.”
