London would have to be one of the most wheelchair INaccessible cities I've ever seen. Granted, the oldest parts of the Tube are over 150 years old. But I'm surprised that in this day and age there are only 72 tube stops, out of 270, that have disability access. Of these, just SIX are in 'Zone 1', the inner city - Earl's Court, Tower Bridge, Tower Gateway, Elephant and Castle, Southwark and Westminster, - and they (all bar Earl's Court) spread over not more than a kilometre.
What are wheelies supposed to do? Compete on the roads with the big red buses?
*Murderball is the nickname given to wheelchair rugby, one of the most violent, fast paced and fun-to-watch games I've ever seen. Nowhere else in wheelchair sport do you get a free throw if you tip someone else out of their chair (as long as they have the ball when you do it).
