Life with limitations and the gear that makes things work. Car Battery Disconnect Switch for Drivers with Dementia. December 8, 2007. One non-confrontational solution is this battery disconnect switch. It’s easy to install on the battery terminal; turning the knob disconnects the battery, making it impossible to start the car. When the car must be driven, the knob is screwed back down, and the battery functions again. Calendar with Date Marker. December 6, 2007. Knowing what the day and date are and anti...

Life with limitations and the gear that makes things work. Archive for the 'Games/Recreation' Category. Segway Scooter as an Assistive Device. April 22, 2008. A group called DRAFT (Disabililty Rights Advocates for Technology) distributes Segway scooters through its Segs4Vets. Best of all, say users, a Segway, unlike a wheelchair, allows face-to-face interaction. Sounds like a great, feel-good post doesn’t it? And at least one Barnes and Noble store in Arizona.

Not only is the MetaPhysic a fine looking machine, it is the most efficient recumbent I've owned. It accelerates and climbs better than any other bike I've had a chance to ride including the legendary efficient (Barcroft) Virginia, (Lightning) P38 and R84. Fred Larimer, MetaPhysic owner. Be careful when you choose a bent. Most bents are aero but few will climb! There's a growing consensus that the MetaPhysic is a bit of a DF killer. Paul Worden, MetaPhysic owner. Key features include the telescoping boom...

Being the disjointed ramblings of some guy named Dan, with especial attention paid to the use and abuse of certain pedal-powered Contrivances and related Devices and Engines of note. Monday, April 30, 2012. Crush the Commonwealth 2012. DNF (mental) in Bedford, after approximately 230 miles. No significant physical or mechanical problems, no failures in packing or preparation. Just lost interest in perseverance for the sake of perseverance. Previous first finishers who rode this year. Unlike two years ago.

Being the disjointed ramblings of some guy named Dan, with especial attention paid to the use and abuse of certain pedal-powered Contrivances and related Devices and Engines of note. Monday, February 28, 2011. For the drivetrain, I broke with long-standing recumbent tradition and ditched the road triple (52/42/30) in favor of a Shimano R700 50x34.
