Bicycle and E-Scooter • 2025-02-23

It's time to write a report on my scooter.

  • Scooter 🛴 +2 trips per week
    • Total 65 trips
  • Bicycle 🚲 no trips per week
    • Total 243 trips

My scooter insurance is expiring next week. I haven't ordered a renewal yet. This will be a good motivator to ride my bicycle more often.

Let me share one downside of riding a scooter: I often get a sore neck after using it. This is due to the increased strain on the neck when riding a scooter compared to a bicycle. For two reasons:

  • First, scooters rock more, as their smaller wheels and springs don't absorb bumps as effectively.
  • Second, your posture is more vertical while riding a scooter, like you're standing straight up, whereas on a bicycle your body is in a diagonal position.

So, I always try to ride my scooter with slightly bent legs to distribute the weight and vibrations more evenly 😐.
