I’m a sporty guy, but 8/9 years ago I broken both my legs and used a wheelchair for more than 2 months. Only when you try what this mean you can understand the difficulty! And every new initiative like this website, is a great thing.

Not nearly the same; But at university I was one of those guys driving around on an Airwheel. Every little curb was sooo annoying, and I could just jump off, walk over and continue my ride. Sometimes I would do quite some detours to avoid that. Made me realize how annyoing going around on campus in a wheelchair must have been.
As a summer-job 30 years ago I was working with moving stuff around the university. We had wagons to drag the stuff around everywhere. Everything was very accessible, you can even get between the buildings without stepping outside thanks to tunnels above or below ground. Elevators or long slopes where there is need. The local university is a relatively new one, about 55 years old so I guess it was planned from the beginning.
