I was at the Chicago airport the other day and a wheelchair whizzed past me. I couldn't figure out what was so strange about it when it passed, until I saw another one. It was ENORMOUS!!! It was well beyond the 24.5 to 26.5 inches normal wheelchair.
So I looked up extra wide wheelchairs... and low and behold there are such things.
This makes me wonder just how effective ADA has been since people with these extra wide wheelchairs are now locked out of most doorways just like before ADA compliance.
