My awkward scooter moments
« on: July 09, 2021, 11:26:08 AM »
Rolling up to the stop bar....lifting feet from my stepthru scooter to place on the street (probably one foot down for short riders).....just as the light goes green....feet in mid-air !!
I always seem to wobble getting rolling again. Fun for my audience 😊

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

As we age the body as less equilibrium fluid hence less balance.

I can lift my feet and start with  no wobbling if I have a clear road ahead. I have a greater problem with slowly stopping without a wobble. May be a confidence issue.
