Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request
Does anyone know of any handbrakes for wheelchairs, or wheelchairs with handbrakes?
By this I mean "I get brakes for my wheelchair" rather than "someone stood behind me gets brakes for my wheelchair".
(there are *tonnes* of the latter around, but afaict none of the former outside of one company who make brakes for specific wheels in Texas)

@pastelbat isnt the wheelchair brakes for the person behind their legs? like cmon ur the abled person who may or may not be helping or pissing off the person in the wheelchair, just hold it there
god that pisses me off that theres none really available for the actual wheelchair users

@kellerfuchs @audrey @tom Apologies, I realise now it's not 3am that "handbrake" would imply "parking brake" because cars
I mean brakes that are used for slowing while moving.

@pastelbat @kellerfuchs @tom ahh
that still sounds like something that someone operating the wheelchair from behind can deal with themselves tho, why tf are there so many options for them but none for the actual user of the wheelchair??

@pastelbat @kellerfuchs @audrey Oh, sorry! Haven't really seen that, then... :/
