Technical Aids Tips and Tricks LVII
Friday, December 5th, 2014Requires some extra time to answer the door!
As a wheelchairdriver I do most of my shopping online and the couriers are streaming in and out of my home.
My record so far is 5 deliveries by 4 different companies within 2.5 hours!
By now I recognize the companies by their ring. For example 2 x very briefly in a row means 90% of the time “Trans O’Flex”, or a certain relative
Anyway, if I happen to be in the “East Wing” of my apartment, I really have to rush to make it to the door in time before the mail man leaves, especially if he’s new.
I’m either too slow or they’re too fast and if it wasn’t for the nice neighbor my package would go back.
Once I was expected to pick up a package at the “Next DHL-Kiosk” that is only 1.5 km away from my apartment. Unfortunately, it is up the hill and of course, there are stairs at the entrance … arghhh! At that point one needs good friends!!!
Just this morning I received a package from my medical supply store. Luckily I was already in the hallway.
This one had an additional sign for the driver:
Attention: requires some extra time to answer the door!
What a great idea! This is new to me and should be implemented everywhere. A big Thank You from this page to Heidelberg!
I have altered the sign a little bit for you to download and pass on – maybe to your medical supply store along with your next order

Ghost Bathroom
Friday, October 31st, 2014In a designated wheelchair hotel it goes without saying that the bathrooms are accessible and have an accessible shower.
Bathtubs are only used rarely by us wheelers.
Here some Spanish mechanics really have bricked up the former bath tub and made a storage rack out of it. I like!
My wife as a pedestrian felt discriminated.
Taking a closer examination, it could also be a
Sacrophagus of a tomb
You better don’t ask the question if there is still anybody lying in it.

Addendum Technical Aids Tips and Tricks IXL
Monday, October 6th, 2014I have nominated the FreeWheel 2012 as technical aid of the year.
I don’t want to repeat the whole blogpost here, so please see yourself the Blogpost 2012 FreeWheel.
It is a spoked wheel in the size of a children’s bicycle which you can clamp to the footrest in front of your wheelchair. This thing is ingenious and in permanent use for me.
Uneven paths, curbs, cobble stone, sand, gravel, grass and of course snow are no barrier anymore with the FreeWheel.
In the past the FreeWheel was only available for rigid frame wheelchairs. I bought from the inventor Patrick Dougherty his sample wheel for the trade fair and clamped it by magic on my foldable wheelchair with end-to-end footrest.
I sent him the pictures of my variant of wheelchair adaption, and he gave some thought about an adaptor.
After 2 years of development there is officially a FreeWheel Adaptor for foldable wheelchairs available since spring 2014.
Unfortunately only for wheelchairs with split footrest, as far as I understood.
