I recently start taking a kick scooter to work over my bike. I found that it's kind of more fun and better when I go on the subways. How come you guys don't talk about kick scooters much?

Probably because some people here think it's 'dorky' as if wearing cycling kit doesn't automatically put them in that category.

IMHO they're actually kinda nice for what you're using them for. I was thinking of getting a fat wheeled one for running short distances from rail stations too.

Most of us aren't 14 years old either, why don't you get a car?

>kick scooter
Is this the early 2000s?

If its being used for transportation, scooters and skateboards lose to bikes for efficiency but gain on cost and storage.

I don't think anyone goes actual distance on either skateboards or scooters. No ever does a city to city tour on a scooter or gets a week of groceries on a skateboard. Pretty much once you get outside the college district its less feasible.

I expect you could drum up a thread on /asp/ but I don't go there so I don't care.

My brother got one of those in like 1999

Used it twice and then realized why they're pointless except on a factory floor or on a college campus or something like that

People actually do that sometimes. Usually on the ones that look like they probably have 20in wheels. Not often, but people do.

>or gets a week of groceries on a skateboard.

You clearly haven't lived in a college town.
