Disadvantages: Strikes fear into old ladies, People think you should grow up, There is a chance you might fall into goose poo

I bought mine about a year ago and used it solidly for a long time to get about on. I am nearly 30 now but people think I am little only 20 so I reckoned I stll looked the part! Didn't take a bus or tube for ages. Enjoyed using it. Only came off once when I was scooting along Regent's Canal tow path and got my front wheel stuck in a gap between two paving slabs. The scooter stopped but I kept going. I am told by my partnet that I fell off and landed rather gracefully but at the time I was doing that quick embarassed look all round to see if anyone saw me! Fortunately they didn't. I was just glad I did not land in the water because geese poo every four minutes and it was goose breeding season.

I took the thing everywhere. My younger cousins loved me for it. Seems they were more pleased to see my scooter than me!

I have not used it for a while now. I actually bought a scooter as in one with a 100cc engine so I have to admit to using the one with the engine more than the one with the little wheels.

But the thing is fun. My favourite place for scooting and indeed rollerblading is along the sea front in Swansea, Wales. That path is beautiful and smooth. Runs along the Mumbles and waterfront and also the Clyne Valley path is another great one in Swansea.

I have not used it for a while but I am certainly hanging on to it.
