Everyone has a Scorpion sumthing or other so IMHO it's not unique enough. I said "Switch Back" because it opens like a switch blade and it can handle the switch backs while out wheeling.
What's the deal with "overland ____________" everthing?

Veracruz
In April 1518, Juan de Grijalva disembarked on an islet near the shore that was called San Juan de Ulúa. On April 22, 1519 Hernan Cortez disembarked on Chalchihuecan beach, where he decided to found a village and form the first colonial settlement in Mexico. That day was Good Friday, the day of Holy Week known as the day of La Vera Cruz (True Cross) — hence he chose the name of La Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz.
It was from this base in August 1519 that Cortez began his course of conquest inland to Tenochtitlan, Mexico, while his subsidiary conquistador commanders pacified other regions that today shape the entity of Veracruz.
From this beginning, Veracruz as the entry point for conquest, became the principal point of communication and harbor between Spain and New Spain. From this port were shipped many products to Europe like cotton, rice, wheat, domestic animals, gun powder, textiles, wine and all the considerable produce from this rich colony and particular territory.

Since it's made for people with access & mobility problems, I thought Overland Independence would suit it.
I believe that I need one, Martyn. As you and I discussed one afternoon, my mobility issues don't exactly get better with age...
