It’s time to write a report about my scooter:
-
Scooter 🛴 +2 rides this week
- Total of 65 rides
-
Bicycle 🚲 0 rides this week
- Total of 243 rides
My scooter insurance expires next week, and I haven’t ordered the renewal yet. I think this will give me a reason to force myself to ride my bike more often.
Let me tell you about one nuisance that haunts me on the scooter: my neck frequently hurts after riding. This is because there is more pressure on your neck on a scooter than on a bicycle for two reasons:
- First, it shakes more on a scooter because the wheels and small springs don’t smooth out bumps as well.
- Second, your body position is vertical, as if you’re standing up; on a bike, it’s diagonal.
Therefore, when I’m on my scooter, I always try to ride with my knees slightly bent to distribute the load and vibration more evenly 😐
