Segways for the Disabled - Page 7

Greetings to all, The issue as to where you are not able to go has not reared it's head to me. I have not been refused access anywhere I have gone: K-mart, Wall mMart, Universal Studio theme park Fl,grocery stores, malls, etc.. If you are using the HT as a mobility devise, have a copy of your disabled sticker made and velcro it to the front of the cs. That will head-off a lot of inquiries as to the intended use. Again, try it you'll like it. Also, there are those of us on limited incomes, I had no financial help but have absolutely NO regrets making the purchase, the return I am getting as to my life, self worth and moral more than offset the costs. If there are any question, feel free to contact me via the chat e-mail. SEG-ON SEG-RIGHT :&gt

I received an email today from the usps, informing me that they will consider my request for them to donate their unused Segways. How cool is that?! Now I get to see if I can organize Segwas for Independence, and run it under another organization. That's the cheapest way to get it going.

They said they would notify me by mail of their decision.

I have also invited my contact at the USPS to come here and read the posts made by those using the HT for assistance. It is my hope that your stories will contribute to them reaching a favorable decision on this matter.

Segway-more fun than you can stand!
