    Saw this in another group but had to share it here!

    It is essentially a canopy for wheelchairs to protect you from rain or sunshine. It looks pretty awesome to me. However, I can’t say I love the price tag.

    What do you all do if you’re caught in the rain? Whoever I’m with usually just holds an umbrella but that person usually ends up getting wet. It’s difficult to coordinate driving at the same speed as the person walking, fitting a wheelchair and a person under one umbrella, and avoid running over toes.

    I have been asking my brother, the engineer, to fashion a detachable umbrella of sorts for years now, but he hasn’t gotten around to it.

    I make it a point not to be out in the rain. If I do get a little wet, so be it, I don’t melt.
