Last month we profiled the innovative Wheelblades, which essentially allow a user in a wheelchair to better travel over snow and ice. Patrick Mayer, the visionary behind this technology, told us how he hopes it can improve the users’ lives. Continue reading Sunday Q&A: Patrick Mayer Talks Wheelblades
