This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps.
Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.

@ahimsa_pdx I know one here in Ottawa. Often see her at concerts in the summer. She can walk short distances if not tired so sometimes she uses a chair. Not a big deal.

Yes, yes! As a culpable victim of severe emphysema — on O₂ 24/7 — I can walk maybe 20 meters with a walker and oxygen before needing a lengthy sit-down. Without my wheelchair, I'd rarely leave my room.
