Just looking for some opinions, and no, I'm not driving a motorized cart. Thats for sissies.  |
As far as the sissies comment, that's snob talk. Does it somehow make you a better person to walk?
But back to the topic... pushing is physiologically easier on the body, in particular the back and shoulders. Before manufacturers came out with the 3 wheelers, many orthopedists were advising patients with back and shoulder problems to start pushing their bags on 2 wheelers instead of pulling or carrying, and that led directly to the introduction of the various push style carts that you see these days. The human body is designed better for pushing than it is for dragging.
