Several weeks ago I broke a wheel on my shopping cart; I was going over a curb and the plastic inner cracked out of the axel. Dr. Djonz replaced wheels he'd salvaged from a previous cart (it's happened before). Whenever I wheel my shopping cart to Walgreens I'm made aware of the problems of those who depend on chairs, strollers and other wheeled carts to get around. And I appreciate curb cuts! Dr. Djonz says I should be more careful and lift the cart and its wheels over the cutless curb -- not easy with a full cart. Curb cuts help everyone, not just wheelchair riders. Sometimes what seems like an annoying and unnecessary accommodation for a special population has benefits for everyone. Like Learning 2.0 !
