You can also expand the list of accessible routes, and the distance traveled along them, by using a more capable wheelchair. Products such as the GRIT Freedom Chair, while designed for outdoor recreation by fit wheelchair riders, are also much easier for able bodied friends of the wheelchair rider to help push, due to their long wheelbases and larger wider wheels. They are also more stable on uneven terrain. The Whirlwind Roughrider is another example. Group members who have limited walking capability who do not typically use wheelchairs in daily life in part due to social stigma, may actually find their safety vs falls enhanced, and their functional mobility significantly improved by this type of wheelchair. This is especially true in the company of trusted friends/family who would be more than happy to help push in order to have the benefit of that persons company.
