I have been in college on and off for fifteen years. I imagine that students with skateboards predated me by many years. I guess that there are advantages and disadvantages of bikes, scooters, and skateboards, but somehow skateboards are "cool" and I see a line of them leaning against the wall inside every classroom. I favored "kick" scooters. I used to have old women complain to each other about my "skateboard." No, I have handlebars and brakes, and I took up less space than them and their wheeled backpacks.
I once found myself walking a mile to the bus and told my girlfriend that I wished that I had a Segway.
"Why, are your legs broken?"
"Would you ride a Segway with broken legs?"
"No, I am not lazy."
"So, you would walk with broken legs?"
That relationship did not work out...
