Summary/Abstract: Navigating and following a route is a regular practice for many people. However, how do people who use a wheelchair plan and follow routes? To answer this question, a three-step process of data collection was used: online interviews, moving interviews and reflection interviews. By drawing on my experiences with five participants, this article argues that conducting moving interviews with wheelchair users is a useful method for studying mediated communication in urban spaces and reflects upon the challenges and opportunities this three-step method holds.
