    Scooters

    What can I say, I hate scooters, and their comeback seems incredibly campy to me, like the return of swing music. Motorscooters are an incredibly loud way for kids to get around, as opposed to say more beneficial methods such as walking or riding a bike. That's not to mention the horrible Segway...

    Scooters are nature's way of saying, "I wear women's underwear."

      Yeah scooters are quite sad i must say. Its not quite a motorcycle, yet somehow better than a bike? (although, a trike is the worst of all)....
      I would rather ride a bike and get excersise, (oh wait.. thats not how we do it in America anymore.)
      I would feel better riding a bike, then some half breed/bike, sit-down or standing scooter thing... becides, whats more fuel efficient that my own energy?
      speaking of the segway..

          I think having a motorized scooter would be really kool if you were around 14 and still couldn't get a drivers license. And when I say scooter I mean something like a moped. I don't see anything wrong with that.

            Reminds me of the old saying..
            "Mopeds are like an ugly chick.. fun to ride, but you don't want anyone to see you on it." :D

              Except it gives people who don't know how to drive motor vehicle access to the roads, which means they either annoy me while I'm driving because I have to watch out for them, or they annoy me while I'm walking because they're cruising up the sidewalk and expect me to get out of the way...

                        Gas powered ones are annoying, but electric Scooters sound incredibly cool.

                          Surprisingly, scooters are more acceptable to me than mini bikes.. but not by much. Glad to fuck they're outlawed now.

                              Too bad they're so damned expensive.
