I know that BMX is now an Olympic event (unbelievably) but I can't believe that anyone thinks that 'mico scooters' will be next; I've seen quite a few guys in there late teens/early twenties with these kiddies toys, some even scooting along in the cycle lane ........ they look real ****s! ;)

Surely there is something more adult to do for enjoyment?


Anyone use one of these things? if so, please enlighten me why.

I know I'm old but really!
 
Why? Because you can get away with riding it on the pavement. Also they fold up like a bad ass and weigh nothing.

I used to do a commute with one down a hill, saved so much time and safer than on the road.

Scooters have never been cool.

I saw a guy riding one around Soho last week and he looked like a tit.
 
Oh come on. What's wrong with Scooters? If people enjoy riding them let them be - you don't have to moan about it on an internet forum.
 
I used to have one when I was about 10, they are a right laugh to be fair. I would have one now but I know I'd look like an utter tit :D
 
when razor scooters first came out I bought one (US$110 at the time) for my commute to college (went back to school to study 3D animation when I was 24) when I was in the states, just over a mile to the nearest bus stop and a mile to Santa Monica College's AET... after a while I skipped the bus part and rode 4.5 miles on it. I did not care at the time if people thought I was a ****, it was better than walking :D

And now at the age of 36 I ride a 500cc scooter to work and bounce around on bocks (projumps) for fun and do not care if I look like a ****, I'm having fun screw everyone else :D

they are FUN.. and it doesn't matter how old you are, enjoy it, who cares what others... "men on kids toys.." seriously do you have nothing else to worry about?
 
People laugh at me when I do the 4 mile journey to work on my Space Hopper but Im having more fun than they are driving.
 
I wouldnt ride a scooter but I would love to ride a.... er....

Darn it what are they called? You ride them standing up. There was an episode of Frasier where Niles spends the whole episode riding one.
 
What's wrong with having bmx in the Olympics :/ it's been a multi million dollar sport for 30 years (billions thesedays) and has a bigger fan base than other Olympic sports . It's also interesting to watch even in it's worst form (racing)
