Assuming you still have two working arms, and access to a reasonably
well fitted manual chair, why not set a few targets? Plan a few
routes and see how far you get. Go shopping and try navigating round
the supermarket with one of those clip-on trollies? Get a helmet and
practice wheelies? (A pal neaby would help with this one ;)

Search "wheelchair aerobics" for a few more ideas.
