Firstly: *applauds* I am not handicapped, but I work with the disabled, and seriously, "handicapped accessible" is sometimes such a load of crap. I weigh about 110, and trying to get a wheelchair bound person up the "tiny, little, bump" sometimes requires more than me.

Secondly: NYC subway stations. Handicapped accessible? It's a fifty-fifty toss up. They will tell you on the MTA website if that particular station is accessible, but certain parts of the lines do fail. As well as maneuvering yourself, once you get into the station, WTF.
