None of them solve really bad traction in snow, though. So far my experience in proper snow has been small enough that I could have someone I trusted push me over the worst bits, and manage the rest myself. Has anyone tried snow chains on a wheelchair?Jenny S-Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05902157603178708037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-34210727961645243672017-12-14T09:45:09.977-05:002017-12-14T09:45:09.977-05:00Not quite ready to believe in it.....YET.

There may be a time where your manual chair isn't the best option. Could mean extra reps in the gym (or increasing resistance on whatever exercises you're doing). You've said the gym is not the same as pushing - but if pushing can't get you from point A to point B, that might be the compromise. I wonder if that might mean dedicating some weekend / evening time to mall pushing time or something too? If you wanna keep the muscle and the world ain't cooperating - ya gotta adapt and commit. (If I did my bicycle commute in this weather, I'd be dead meat the first time a plow came by me. So - I ride the stationary bike in the gym for cardio conditioning. Ain't the same - but it gets me through the winter.) Ron Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852385982605070675noreply@blogger.com
