Riding a bike has become somewhat mundane because I'm always in a hurry and try to get my errands done quickly, so I opt for the scooter 😤.

Last week was an interesting experience: I got to try riding a slightly newer scooter than my Xiaomi 4 Lite 2nd. It has more power, longer range, and a front spring. All the improvements are very pleasant to feel: vibrations are smoothed out, climbing hills is faster and easier. However, I'm not in a rush to switch to the new one just yet and will continue using the old one. As the title of my goal says, wheeled transportation should pay for itself 🤔💭, only then can it retire ☁️ My old scooter has its advantages: light weight, wide tire clearance, and a rear "kickstand" that's comfortable to stand on 🐿️.

Also last week, I covered my scooter with stickers on all sides. I did this to deter thieves at the station from wanting to take my scooter. I used various stickers: birds, butterflies, flowers, retro machinery, phrases in an unknown language, beetles 🐞🐞🐞🐞
