Yep, I've had quite a few 'what the scoot' looks during my scooter commutes. Some people laugh, some smile and others look totally bemused.
My first ridiculing came from a drunken old man in the bank who told me in a slurred tongue that I'm, "way too old for that!" This may well be true but nay mind. Keeps me fit! :)
A week or so after this encounter, I was on my way home when a group of young lads on bikes chased me half way down Oxford Rd. "Wait! Stop!" They shouted and when they finally caught up with me (not that I'm suggesting that catching me was in any way a challenge), I had little choice but to take a breather. "Wow! Where did you get that? How much was it? How fast can you go?" I answered their questions and scooted on my way feeling a little guilty at initially thinking they were nasty kids who would push me off my scooter.
What the scoot?!

This shows that scooting can bring people together.
Yo scooter lady, when you going to get a scootcam?
Scootcam on its way people. I was thinking of adapting one of those silly pet cam devices.
you going to scoot it to our film meeting tomorrow? I can't wait to see the looks from the Baby Cakes folks when you scoot past
what the scoot- where's the scoot? don't let me break into song but a little drop of rain can hardly hurt you now!
Bring back the scooter at least for office purposes.
Updates available to view now. Get on it. :)
