Exploring Atlanta in my Wheelchair!

[@dougbrown7150]

You two are so great together

Richard: pets a bird Richard: eats wings 😂

[@AntiAllesAusPrinzip]

I love baby pigs, but I eat their parents anyway...

[@Kay-ly3hb]

Krystela Brum you’re welcome

[@Kay-ly3hb]

AntiAllesausPrinzip no hate. Just an observation

[@Wheels2Walking]

Hahahah never made that connection before 😂😭

[@Kay-ly3hb]

Wheels2Walking haha! No hate Richard. Just made me laugh. Love the channel

[@sattertx]

Wow! We are watching this video while we are at Shepherd. My husband was injured almost 2 months ago and we have been in and out of ICUs and are ending our journey at Shepherd... We are going home this week. Would love to connect before we leave!

[@Wheels2Walking]

Hey! That’s wild I’m so grateful you two found my channel! I’m currently not in town but let me know if you ever come back through

[@malikellu]

Great post. I’m paraplegic from an accident last year. Your videos are very inspiring and motivating. Thanks for sharing and continue to be a symbol of hope. 😎

[@thekoo2011]

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Jalila’s eye roll game. 🙄 HAHAHA! 💯💯💯💯 So spot on. You’re the best, J 🥰🤗.

[@Wheels2Walking]

She’s the QUEEN of eye rolls 😂

[@thekoo2011]

Wheels2Walking 2nd only to sis RES. 🤣

[@artfranklin5406]

Richard, you are hanging in my old stomping grounds. I was diagnosed with MS in Atlanta at the Shepherd Center in 2003. I dined “back in the day” at RJ’S. It is amazing how much has changed and good to see some things are still the same. Great VID!

[@Wheels2Walking]

Not a bad area at all! Definitely a lot of changes. I’ve been here for a decade and it’s changed a LOT since then. Some neighborhoods are unrecognizable

[@DwarfDragonwulf]

The holding hands thing. Dude, that's something I've always struggled with, using a range of mobility equipment.

[@thefordbeautificationproje422]

We hear you on this one!

[@snaeulfr1211]

Born & raised in the hills of north Georgia. Left home at 18. Been back a couple of times. Worked in Atlanta and loved it. Life has taken me to other destinations, but Atlanta is still my favorite city. - Have wheelchair. Still travelin'...

[@Wheels2Walking]

ATL will always have a special place in my heart if I ever move away

[@lilco147]

I never thought of how you would hold hands! You guys are so cute together!

[@Wheels2Walking]

It was one of the goals I had in rehab, only took me 8 years to get a girl to do it with haha

[@KimonoSkunk]

@@Wheels2Walking I’m married myself and luckily I have a wife and daughter that are super supportive. Nothing like a southern belle blonde from North Carolina. We have a 17 year old girl as well. Married for almost 18 years… ^^

[@ilichiregius2884]

Awesome accessible tour of your city Richard and Jalila.

[@Wheels2Walking]

It was a blast! I hope anyone who comes decides to take this adventure

[@pattykittenguru8296]

Best big city for wheelchair users is Chicago . The sidewalks are kept clean (no gum to run over) , parking is free at all museums (parking underground) . Every sidewalk have ramps . It was the most amazing large city to visit for me .

[@Wheels2Walking]

Yup! Visited Chicago back in the summer of 2018 and it was super wheelie friendly. I don’t know what the winters are like but the summers sure are nice

[@pattykittenguru8296]

@@Wheels2Walking idk about winter either

[@reelfaithoutdoors9086]

I wish I knew about those wings back when I did my therapy at the shepherd center in 2017! My wife and I would use day passes to push to chick fi la and Ted’s Montana Grill, which is now one of our favorite restaurants. I also am in debt to the shepherd center. So many good and sometimes painful memories of that place, but I wouldn’t be as independent as I am now with out their help. Another great video, bro!

[@Wheels2Walking]

I love how much shepherd teaches independence for us. A lot aren’t as lucky. If you ever find your self around again be sure to go get some wings!

[@joshdurrant9247]

Thanks for taking us on your trip 😊. Atlanta looks like fun great looking food also, one question was the parrot still in his cage when you got done with the wings? LOL😂. The mango caterpillar pops are also dairy free😂. Great 2 see you and Jalila having fun👍👍😁💪👊

[@Wheels2Walking]

Yeah the little dudes were still outside 😋

[@The_crippled_gamer]

WE STINK!!!!! love the video as usual :D

[@Wheels2Walking]

Oh we STANK lol

[@mattyc195]

I went thru Shepherd in 93 and it’s a great place. Great video with helpful information! Thanks for sharing

[@Wheels2Walking]

Shepherd does quality work. I was very lucky to go there

[@randallblizzard]

R. Thomas is one of my favorite spots in Atlanta man!

[@Wheels2Walking]

Quite literally the most versatile and delicious place in ATL

[@katlady5000]

12:45 that happened to me at a concert same type of lift.I used the lift to get up and I enjoyed the concert. It broke with someone inside after the concert ended. So we were waiting for a while from them to fix it so we could leave. Super annoying.

[@Wheels2Walking]

I HATE waiting for broken stuff. It’s literally the worst 😭

[@katlady5000]

@@Wheels2Walking At least the parking lot was pretty clear by the time we got out there. 🤣

[@micahblack454]

Shepherd center saved my life!!!! And coffee straight out the nose when you got to the foreskin sculpture. Completely lost it🤣😂🤣

[@Wheels2Walking]

Shepherd is wonderful! Happy you got a laugh. That sculpture is ridiculous and I had to show it off hahah

[@micahblack454]

@@Wheels2Walking It is now and forever called the forskin sculpture!!

[@Aquintisburnett]

Great video man. I’m in Atlanta also so I’ve been to a lot of these places, but I can’t wait to revisit them and go to some new ones. This video has really inspired me to start a channel of my own

[@Wheels2Walking]

That would be awesome! I always love it when other wheelers show their lives

[@sayedxp]

You are a fantastic man, you inspire me

[@oliverclimbsV3]

I miss King of Pops (I recently moved to MO), and their strawberry lemonade is sooo good

[@Wheels2Walking]

KOP is an Atlanta staple. I had to get some

[@mizzloyce4439]

Cool tour and video totally made me wanna visit 🙂💜.

[@Wheels2Walking]

You should! It’s a fun place when you know the spots to go 😁

[@MarcusBlau]

pretty interesting over there. when you live in an old town like me, the accessibility is pretty bad in certain areas, but obstacles is what we wheelchair users have to deal with, right... and you're right, rain and pushing rims is the worst...

[@Wheels2Walking]

Atlanta isn’t the worst or the best. Small towns, especially historic ones are almost impossible.

[@DannyjGomez]

Yo those wings look 🔥🔥🔥

[@Wheels2Walking]

STRAIGHT FIRE. If you ever come into town you’ll have to get some

[@arshiyasidiqaa]

Awesome video so accessible city.😇

[@brandonschroeder934]

Keep up the good work enjoy your videos

[@Wheels2Walking]

Thanks Brandon!

[@jttorcivia3276]

Awesome video

what is your backpack?

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

lolol this is great !!

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

That is quite a good hike.

[@Wheels2Walking]

It was a blast, come do it sometime!

[@Lsaizul]

I've missed you!

[@PatrickSaliga988]

Merci pour la visite mon amis 😉😉😉✌️👍👍👌💪👊

[@robbin_on_wheels3087]

Can I ask what backpack that is

[@raesurtee4711]

Great video, i'm from England but came to America last year with a friend to do Route 66.

[@Wheels2Walking]

I’ve never done 66 but I hear it’s an incredible drive

[@raesurtee4711]

Wheels2Walking it really was one of the most amazing experiences in my life and we also stopped by , Vegas, Monument Valley, Antilope Canyon , and the hoover dam all breathtaking. Antilope Canyon was hard had to be dragged through it as inside it’s all sand.

[@thefordbeautificationproje422]

Thank you for mentioning the inaccessibility of a restroom without really showing it as a big negative...!

[@beanoneya]

I've got family in Atlanta, I'd love to roam around!

[@QQ0000]

W a guy in a chair

[@glenncooper4567]

Keep up the good job on the video & nice mask stay safe to u & ur girlfriend.

[@akbaraklan6072]

Sir your wheelchair price pls

[@Wheels2Walking]

Check out the Hands On Concepts website for pricing

[@labschi]

Such a cool video, thanks! Eye opener for this one: how to hold hands with your girlfriend while pushing a wheelchair! Good to know, just need a girlfriend now ;) :D

[@Wheels2Walking]

Hang in there, you’ll get one. Check out my “relationship advice” playlist!

[@The_crippled_gamer]

let's go on a hunt together :D

[@labschi]

@@Wheels2Walking already watched that video! Good advice which helped me in some conversations :)

[@labschi]

Hey Richard, your advice became handy just a few months after this comment. My girlfriend and I tested out to hold hands - unfortunately it didn't work for us as my assistive drive kept pushing me in wrong directions all the time. On the other hand we discovered so many other stuff we can do together now like enjoying holidays :) I just watched your video about your frustation about your urologist. I just won some stupid complaints against my health insurance so I totally get you (although the situation in Germany seems to be much better in this regard). Hope you're safe and well!

[@hannahscott5349]

strawberry lemonade all the way Julia =) never mind this macho stuff

[@Wheels2Walking]

Hahah I was just teasing. I’m sure It tasted good :)

[@utooberrookie]

No gloves while you wheel?

[@Wheels2Walking]

When I go hiking or maybe an aggressive workout or a “run” push, but never got just rolling around.

[@Wheelztotheworld]

Nice

Atlanta =least wheelchair friendly city with no regard for disabled parking spots and worse, people park in the ramp area next to the disabled spot. Police don’t respond . Awesome restaurants, though!

I wouldn’t say the worst but DEFINITELY not the best.
