Love how this guy is navigating the traffic on his scooter and squeezing between NYPD cars, police over here would immediately fine me for driving on a busy street with a scooter.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Lzb8snzUcD0>>1828125I don't get that many looks anymore nowadays due to the electric scooter boom. But yeah, it's a verifiable fact that about 99.5% of people are mentally retarded, and I don't give a fuck about the opinions of retards.
Riding scooters is great exercise, and these little fuckers are just about the best way to travel distances in a city that would take more than 5 minutes of walking but are too short to make getting my bike out of the basement and then looking for a good place to park it near the destination worth the hassle. Also for going to and from train or tram stations if you want to avoid getting your car into traffic jams in the inner city.
Not gonna let others stop me from using the best tool for the job.
>>1828115What makes it useful is that it's 2 to 3 times faster than walking but isn't as bulky and inconvenient as a bike.
Compared to a bike, I can just take it inside a store with me without having to worry about it getting stolen or vandalized.
I can easily take it on a train and have it sit between my legs or, when available, put it into the overhead luggage rack. With bikes it's always a matter of luck wether there's enough free space to take it with you, and in many cities they will charge you extra for it.
When there's a flight of stairs or a hill too steep to drive up, I can just fold my scooter and carry it like a suitcase in one hand, it doesn't weigh much.
I guess a skateboard/cruiser would theoretically be superior to a foldable scooter in most of these aspects, but it takes months/years of practice to ride a skateboard as safely as you can ride a scooter from day one.
Also, you can attach a small bag to your scooter's handle bar to carry some extra load.
