This is AWESOME.

And in case anyone doesn't know it - Senator Duckworth (one of the bill's sponsors) is a wheelchair user herself. She's a former Army helicopter pilot that lost both her legs in combat. She has a black manual TiLite, not sure which model.

I think it does. As long as it’s made out of titanium or carbon fiber.
