Complaining is worth it! Simply Great Part V

星期一, 八月 29th, 2011

I have already often reported about my handicap parking safaris (see older blogpost).

The discounter with the big “L“ on whose parking lot the most beautiful stories have happened, has relocated the disabled parking place sign on my proposal.

Especially worth mentioning is the reanimation of the wheelchair symbol on the ground.

The labelling is top!!!

A little e-mail with pictures to the head office, a very kind callback on the phone, and it was taken care about the issue.

I know, penned by me it sounds a little paradox, but don’t just always complain, raise the issues at the appropriate positions, often it is quite simple to change something.

However I have to mention that I kindly announced to an approximately 30 year old driver of a car with a star that he would be standing on a disabled parking place when I came out of the supermarket. He apologized several times, he hadn’t seen it. This partial blindness seems to be wildly spread. I believe in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus, and now him as well…

Hand cycle boot camp Part I

星期二, 八月 23rd, 2011

I got persuaded to travel to the “near abroad” last week for a hand cycle boot camp

Oberstdorf im Allgäu (Bavaria).

I have been to many countries already and was able to communicate with the respective inhabitants in English or French quite well.

Apart from the language barrier, the weather has disturbed my whole training schedule.

My since months proven and tested training schedule with several rides in the rain per day was ruined totally by one week of everlasting sunshine. In London (Paralympics 2012) it rains the whole year, as everybody knows, so you have to be prepared.

My equipment had to be converted rapidly from high speed rain jacket to strongly braking cooling cap and vest.

Due to the beautiful sunsets every day the coaches got so melancholic that there was nothing to do with them any more. They were occupied with writing post cards and painting by numbers.

The signage of the race track must have been the result of

Fools at work.

signs in both directions meaning: all trails

Meanwhile I had completely lost my way, so that I ended up on the

Nebelhorn

middle sign meaning: panorama trail – wheelchair and stroller accessible

and finally on the

Way of St James

(in German: Jakobsweg)

OK, this was driven back quickly .

Back in Frankfurt at last.
Last night I was finally able to exercise reasonably again with 16°C and 20 litres of rain/m²!

Collective suicide of the disabled parking place labels!

The silver-coloured car on the first picture has a parking permit, the driver of the black car is suffering from the widely spread chronic “Offroad Dementia”.

Signs Part V

This sign kindly indicates that the way ends 100 meters further ahead on the mole at the sea.

If you are not Jesus of Nazareth, it is also dead end for any pedestrian.

Signs Part IV

We wheelers are often treated a little childlike.

I am not annoyed with anybody if he is patting my head in the last moment of saying goodbye.
That’s just the way it is if you are just 1,38 m small.
But if it will ever occur to anyone to spit on a tissue to wipe a spot off my face then only steel-toed boots protect him from my wheels.

For the city of Frankfurt all wheelers seem to be like children.
In the zoo a playground was built especially for us active wheelers. Actually this signage can’t be interpreted differently.

Signs Part III

星期三, 八月 25th, 2010

Ich bin zwar im Besitz eines gültigen Führerscheins für ein auf Handgas umgebautes Auto (siehe älteren Beitrag), habe aber nie eine

Rollifahrer- Fahrprüfung

abgelegt, ansonsten wäre mir diese

Bodenmarkierung in Verbindung mit einem Halteverbotsschild

mitten auf der Straße sicherlich bekannt.

 

 

Ich verstehe das nicht.

Es ist kein markierter Behindertenparkplatz.

Könnte es sich um einen Stellplatz eines von einem Rollstuhlfahrer gelenkten Krakenfahrzeuges handeln ?

Ist ein Rollstuhl ein Krankenfahrzeug?

Helft mir, ich bin verwirrt…

Fire !!!

“Fire department / Fire water extraction point”

Are they still using leather buckets?

Signs Part I

星期四, 五月 27th, 2010

What does this sign mean?

Passage allowed for wheelchair using residents who are riding hand cycle, are professional taxi drivers and are using a nursing bed?

Where can I get a taxi from quickly?
