Stand Up for Stiltwalkers

Isn’t it about time that we stiltwalkers stood up for our rights? How many halls of commerce have you visited whose doors accommodate our proud, enhanced height? Few, very few. Indeed, how many businesses refuse us entrance altogether? Sure I understand that exposed stilts with hand grips may be objectionable in public places — no one wants to see what appears to be a cross-country skier in a confined area. But what about the vast majority of responsible stiltwalkers who wear their leg-only stilts concealed beneath long, long pants? In what way do these elevation devices offend? In no way! None! It’s time we put our foot — however far removed — down.

And how is that bicyclists get their own lanes in the street? Why not a lane for stiltrunners?
