    Why do people think this? Like, I’m not mad at you, just amazed at how common this belief is.

    Wheelchairs were around, and in use on surfaces that were abysmal in comparison to modern ones, but they worked.

    Whether or not an adventurer would use one is a different issue, but folks really don’t know shit about wheelchairs it seems.

    I’m not saying it would be fun, or easy, but I’ve been out in the woods on paths barely wide enough to fit a chair, and had people, my patients, push themselves the entire way, lumps, ruts, rocks, roots and all. And rubber tires aren’t magic for that. They help, but they don’t make the impossible possible, just the edge cases easier.
