Maryse, I can''t handle more than one walking stick. I often need to do something with one hand (hold on to a stair rail, open a door, extract a wallet) and that gets awkward with two poles. It's too much stuff for me to juggle. Did John have a solution for that? Or did he use two poles only when walking for exercise?
