Didn’t know they did rollerblades with a Cuban heel.
To be honest that stopper on the back isn’t too far removed from the heel on a Cuban you know.
So that’s the appeal. I get you.
Time spent looking super cool is never wasted.
It’s a shame those micro-scooters didn’t really catch on. Never used one, but they must be pretty handy for getting about, plus quick and you get a bit of exercise.
They’re fine! For children.
Saw a grown man on one of these today wearing a bike helmet with a go pro attached. On the pavement. What a tool
can you get them with a carbon stem?
Once saw a grown women going down the pavement on her scooter while wearing a cycling helmet. I’m all for safety but she looked ridiculous.
Also saw someone commuting on a penny farthing.
What have you got against children you horrific monster?
Yeah, sure, you can get a carbon stem. I actually prefer a Reynolds 725 heat-treated chrome-moly steel set-up. TIG welded of course.
my old boss said when he worked in our other offices, which were split between two building, he’d steal his kid’s scooter and use it to go between meetings.
don’t care how much time it saved, he must have looked a complete fud.
so so gutted that heelys didn’t exist when I was wee. they look amazing.
Went to the Tat Modern when Heelys were at their peak popularity. Loads of pre-teens nailing it down the big slope in the Turbine Hall, having a great time and winding up all the bores
typo or great, great satire (typo)
On a similar (but not directly related) theme how do people feel about people whizzing around a supermarket using the trolley as giant scooter type thing?

annoying when other people do it but great fun when I do it
Scooters yes, skateboards no
Alright, Alvril Lavigne’s boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s friends
There’s no way you step off your micro scooter into your next meeting and command any kind of respect in that room. Just no way.
