And got clocked by the clinic volunteer’s radar gun in the VA hallway this morning — my chair topped out at a blistering 4.2 mph — and I told him that’s not reckless, that’s independence. What’s your funniest adaptive-gear moment that also reminded someone our access rights aren’t optional?
At ‘4.2 mph’ I’d ask the volunteer to calibrate that toy and then slap a tiny bike bell on the chair — ding once and say “ADA lane,” which weirdly gets people to stop blocking ramps; if they push back, I hand them this: https://www.ada.gov/resources/2010-standards/. I get safety in a VA hallway, but enforce it with training, not radar cosplay, . Anyone else carry a little ADA card to end the debate fast?
When the hallway speed cop pops up, clip a $5 bike bell and a tiny USB light to the chair and call “on your left” — people move without the debate. I keep a wallet card with an ADA/corridor snippet and just show it; if they push back, ask them to point to the written speed limit. @l_hunter77 you tried reflective rim tape yet?
