My chair arrived yesterday! It's soo good.. @w@ Though I really need practice at it, jeez. And, uh. Upper body strength.
I meant to ask you, since we have EDS & RSI in common, whether you experience pain from braking with your hands? Went for a brief outing today and I can feel it in my wrists & thumbs. Partially this is "Wear your wrist braces, ya goof" but I was wondering if you had experienced this, & knew of any workarounds, either in terms of technique or adaptations.
I've been drooling over bike-style disc brakes, but the only people making them are in Texas, and I suspect they'd definitely end up on the Aspirational list when I find out how much they are. The other idea is to use the metal + leather bit of my wrist braces to take more of the strain from braking away from my hand/wrist joints.
