I finally made the decision this summer to take the plunge and buy an Alinker. It’s a little awkward to put it in the back seat of my 4-door compact car, but quite do-able. It has changed my life for the good. As I become better accustomed to it, it goes with me into more & more venues: doctor appointments, shopping malls, & exercising both indoors & outdoors. People are curious about it, so having it increases my socializing a bit. Using it is liberating. I can travel along at a regular walking pace and have no fear of losing my balance or tiring. I am eye to eye with others who are on foot. I feel confident in a new way. It is well worth the expense. If the cost is an issue, Alinker has plans for “rent-to-own” and will even help buyers set up crowd funding. It is an ingenious way to help people get around, maintain &/or build strength, live a fuller life.
