[nagdu] Moving sidewalks

[Cindy Ray]

As I recall, those moving sidewalks have no rail. Also, people often walk on them and need to pass you. It might be that you could easily get thrown off balance if someone inadvertently plows into you. I used to ride them all of the time with Spencer because I thought it was all the same; he liked to seek them out and ride. After that though I heeded the school's warnings on it, and my dogs have most gladly gone alongside them.

On an escalator, I can tell when we're coming to the end by keeping my hand on the rail, but maybe moving sidewalks don't have a rail.
