Scooter instead of bike?!

<p>Will it be weird if I ride a scooter around campus instead of a bike?! I feel like it would be more convenient for me to ride a scooter instead. I'm also female...so do you guys think it'll be weird of me to be the only one with a scooter? Lmao. Thanks for any responses.</p>

<p>No - there are many people who don’t have bikes and bring other things - longboards/skateboards, rollerblades, unicycles, etc. Scooters are included as well. No one would really care if you brought it or not. I think we all understand the convenience of wheels at UCSB.</p>

<p>Scooters are definitely easier to transport, but they’re also more dangerous, IMO.</p>

<p>I was actually thinking of bringing a scooter too but why do you think they’re more dangerous? I feel like it won’t be that much of a hassle but you can’t ride them in the bike lane. I feel like everyone will be riding a bike and I’ll be on a scooter getting trampled over LOL</p>

<p>Scooters r more convenient too</p>

<p>Well, define convenient. Convenient in space and weight, yes, but having to scoot a scooter all over campus can get a lot more tiring than simply biking around campus, and to shops outside UCSB.</p>

<p>You know, I was also thinking that…but then against you’re avoiding the risk of getting your bike stolen.</p>

<p>Oh yeh sorry my definition of conveniency was just getting you from your dorm to class and back, and transporting your transportation</p>

<p>Are you kidding me, which do you get more balance from, a bike or scooter?</p>

<p>You can’t ride nearly as fast on a scooter as bikers can. Going too slow in the bike lane could be dangerous.</p>

<p>Slow bikers on bike paths (especially bikers with beach cruisers) = rage mode activated.</p>

<p>diana3: I get more balance using a scooter. Believe it or not. It’s actually easier for me…everyone’s different. </p>

<p>The point is getting from Point A to Point B. Don’t really care about speed. I’m NEVER late so I don’t have to worry. I’ll probably ride it on the sidewalk since they won’t let scooters in the bike lane :-)</p>
