[Blindtlk] [nfb-talk] new NFB canes

    Thanks and yes, I would have to agree with you on the straight canes 
being a hassle.
How do telescope canes fold up?
Are they lighter or more durable?

Niki,

You might try the telescoping canes, or even the straight canes. I 
personally don't like the straight canes much because they can't be put up 
when in a car, a restaurant or other places where things are really close 
quarters. But a lot of people prefer the straight canes.

    Not to butt in, but I was curious about something.
Is there a new kind of cane that is lighter weight than the graphite folding
canes?
I'm tired of having to fold my cane every time I get in a car or at the
grocery store with my mom, I don't like making people wait on me.

So any insight would be nice.
Thanks and God bless you all.
Nikki

Oh, OK. Thanks.  I have heard of these. There was actually a discussion of
them on this list a few weeks ago.

I have a 50/50 cane, which I use on occasion. But, I'll still stick with my
long, straight fiberglass cane. It's the best I've found.

Cindy
