No one said it would be easy, just accessible.

The same could be said about stairs
The stairs might be even easier since the wheels would settle in them making taking breaks easier.
To be clear, this would, in fact, not be ADA-compliant so that sign would not be legal. The sign itself is obstructing a safe grip, on top of all the other flaws going on here, obviously. Unsurprisingly, this is Elfin Cove, Alaska's claim to fame, according to an image search.
(Edit: I'm still embarrassed I wrote this aktshually)
See you at the bottom grandma
upper body day
E: There should be a winch.
Slap that removed in 4 wheel drive, we going UPP
That reminds me of a story I saw about a handicapped athlete in Montreal's metro. He was literally dragging his wheelchair while going upstairs and holding to the handrail.
He shouldn't have to do that but the metro here is only partly accessible, and not his station.
Add a handrail and this might be for him.
One way
And one-time.
It's the rare black diamond ramp
If you weren't in a wheelchair before, this ramp will put you in one
With this weird one trick your insurance company will upgrade you from a wheelchair you have to drive with your arms to one you move by blowing into!
It certainly looks like a rad MTB trail
There is certainly a cart with a winch at the top used to ferry goods (and possibly people) up and down the hill. Whether that’s ADA compliant or not is one thing but it is helping with accessibility.
Bonus: it's slick as hell with a combination of moisture and teeny tiny moss on that wood.
Maybe there’s a winch at the top.
Finally making those higher gears on the wheelchair accessible.
Going down it looks like that Mac and Me clip that Paul Rudd brings with him whenever he’s interviewed by Conan O’Brien
One way.
Check your brakes.
Better go all in IMO.
Weeee!
It's for bicycles not wheelchairs.
TIL that a bicycle is defined by the placement of the main two wheels (was compelled to look it up after seeing your comment). One of the (main, spoked) wheels must be behind the other to be considered a bike. Before this I was under the impression that a wheelchair could be considered a bicycle with training wheels in the front lol
WHEEEEEEeeeeee~eeeeeee!!!!~
All they need is a winch up top and crank away
I assume there's a bunch of school buses just outside the frame.
Old meme.
This is like, the third time I’ve seen this stair/ramp this week. The weird thing: every time the picture was from a different angle and camera quality
