Scoot,
don't drive?
Apparently
Micro Kickboard is giving away 1,000 helmets to honor National
Scooter Day. Micro Kickboard is encouraging, not just kids, but
adults to use scooters for short commutes – up to a couple of miles
– including going from school or work to a train or bus station.
So,
what exactly are scooters?
There
are several sorts of vehicles commonly called scooters. The kind we
are (mostly) celebrating today is a footboard mounted on two wheels;
this kind has a long steering handle. Someone using a scooter rests
one foot on the footboard and pushes the other against the ground.
Another
kind of scooter is a two-wheeled open motor vehicle. You sit in a
seat above the engine, and you can rest both feet on the footboard.
It's a lot like a smaller, less powerful motorcycle.
Like
ANY vehicle (or just being a pedestrian), scooters of both sorts can
be dangerous. You can make scooting a lot safer by wearing a helmet,
using sidewalks or other off-road paths where it is safe and legal to
do so, and of course using caution around other vehicles –
especially all the vehicles that are larger, faster, and more
powerful than yours. (Which, when you're on a scooter, means all of
them!)
Be
careful, have fun, and have a scooter kind of day!
