I Posted a New Wheelchair Kamikaze Video
 

Hey folks, I posted a brand-new Wheelchair Kamikaze video, "The Quest for Bagels". This edition of Wheelchair Kamikaze has us heading up Broadway to my favorite bagel shop, and then for a ride through Central Park on the way home.

Hope everybody enjoys my latest adventure...

One of my favorite places to eat is in Baltimore, very near the Inner Harbour area, is Fell's Point. It's an old wharf/Port area, full of old Taverns (for the sailors once), old building "Grandfathered in", updated a little,but old, not subject to any ADA or buildings regs. The streets are old cobblestone, after a visit in my chair, I still rattle on the way home! I always think of you Marc!!

I can't visit my town because it's old buildings, built on a hill, none are wheelchair accessible as most have a step to get into them. Unless DH takes me there (very rare) in manual chair and takes me up and over steps backwards using his strength, I never go. It's all over-priced anyway. Cute as heck to drive through but I visit rarely. My world here in MD is not very wheelchair friendly.

Argh. I hate my computer. It freezes so that I cannot see the video. I must have a virus. Computer is freezing a lot. Frustration 'cause I wanted to see it NOW. just venting.

I just watched the video and it was great! I really enjoyed watching it and you have done a great job at making it ... thank you so much for sharing it with us all!!

I can SO relate to some of the issues you talked about when you're in a wheelchair. The UK is the same also and doesn't have any smooth road surfaces which makes it hard to push the wheelchair and leaves me feeling pretty sick!!!! I wish they would do something about it but for some reason, they wont and just think it is OK and not a problem!!

Thanks again for sharing - it is so fun to watch your videos and I cant wait to see more soon!!!!:hug:

I needed that! I don't believe you went off roading in central park...


Or as those of us who live on this side of the M/D line call it... Rootin!

It's going to be a new olypmic event in the south mud bogg competitions between the Baby Carriage Mafia and the crazy wheelchair bandits. LOL

Love the videos, another Great Adventure.

Another Fun and funny trip through the streets of NY.:D

Thanks a bunch..:hug:

Thanks, Marc! Loved this video as well as the rest. You're a great commentator! LOL

It's actually pretty amazing how much of the world isn't wheelchair friendly.

My wife and I have family in the Baltimore area, so we know it fairly well. The crab cakes are amazing! Have you been to the restaurant G&M? The crab cakes there are almost indescribably good...

I know what you mean about still rattling after you've gone over some bumpy pavement. There are some cobblestoned areas here in New York, and going over them can be very discombobulating...

Ugh, computer viruses! Do you have Spybot Search and Destroy? If not, you can download it for free (just google it) and it's very good at weeding out all kinds of nasty stuff from your computer...

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, all the way across the pond over in England. It is amazing how oblivious those not disabled are to the problems that we face trying to get around town in our wheelchairs. I hate to admit it, but I think I was just as oblivious when I was still able to walk...

Now that's a battle I'd love to see. I'm glad you enjoyed the video...

you're all very welcome. I have a lot of fun making these videos, and it's really great that people get a kick out of them...
