“Lean your upper body forward!” shouts Rita Ebel, sharing practical advice for tackling access ramps – wisdom she has gained from years of experience navigating life in a wheelchair.
Ebel, who is also affectionately known as Lego Grandma, was paralysed after a car accident about 30 years ago. She and her team invite participants on an eye-opening tour of Hanau’s city centre, near Frankfurt, Germany.
