Okay -- well from my perspective, taking your chair on the escalator rules.
I'm awaiting the arrival of my first power chair (jazzy 1120).  I've been
using a manual chair for a couple of years now and I've mastered the fine art
of going up and down low curbs.  But I've seen a guy at work take his manual
chair down several steps and I really wish I had the guts to try that.  It
would really be a useful skill.  I can't see how it could be done in a power
chair though.
