That was our original system.  The straps often got twisted up in side the
return 
asswmblies, so difficult to deploy(& lots of lost time in rush hhour, usually);
the new hooks system isso uch faster & more reliable.

A-to-B & I'm happy.  

Or even A to A & 3/4 & I can wheel the rest.

When I first moved out here into the 'burbs, it was great, I hads a bus pick me
up just outside my place, dropped me off a half block from work; coming home, I
wheeled 5 minutes & took the train to a st9op- where the same bus picked me up
& 
dropped me across the street from home, with an air-conditioned ride (I'd tilt
my 
chair back & sleep on the way home, after a busy 12-hour shift)

Now it's more complicated,but a similar total time, if I have to go downtown,
but 
my job is all online now.
