    Electric Scooter Land

    Not that it's all bike paths and sidewalks where I live. But I'm seeing more and more of these.


    Someone must have opened a shop near the court house. At least the roads are safe from drunk drivers now all we have to worry about is the sidewalks.

    LOL they are indoor/outdoor some have 20 mile range. The people operating these things are all 35~50.

    As it so happened I met up with an aquaintence riding one of these things today. He got popped with a dui and lost his license.

    I've not seen those in increasing numbers, but seriously. Just jump on a bike.

    If I was riding one of those, even I'd feel like I'm being overly lazy. Come on now.

    No doubt being ridden by people who would always like fries with that.

    I was kinda thinking the same thing.

    I'd just feel downright lazy going down the sidewalk in that eating a cheeseburger.

    All of this talk of lazy people and cheeseburgers reminded me of that woman that was denied service because she was on one of those things... Mrs. "Madder Than Fish Grease"...

    ...the scaredycats motorbike, tricycle armchair ...ride it on the sidewalk, don't worry about it tipping over or going too fast.

    I have a photo somewhere of my 76yr old mom and her older sister hooning around a park in the UK on something very similar (but with less flashy wheels).

    ...for some reason it reminds me of Homer Simpson in a caftan.
