Micro-mobility on Kenneth Drive!

Post by Mark Kindt »

It was an unexpected sight.

Four individuals riding micro-mobility devices on Kenneth Drive as I came home last night.

Yes, this can be safe. --With proper equipment.

These individuals were fully suited-up with full "daft-punk" style helmets and padded black garments.

There was nothing casual about this. It was serious business. --And these folks appeared to know what they were doing.

But, now get this, the leader on his rather ridiculous e-skateboard was followed by riders on what I can only describe as powered unicycles.

I'm serious, this is not satire.

But, it was indeed surreal...

I've been meaning to post. I saw the four scooter/unicycle riders last Thursday, they were eastbount on Lake around 6:00 PM while I was finishing my ride, westbound. I didn't notice the attire so much as one of the large powered unicycles, the middle wheel had to be 12" or maybe even 14". I'm not sure I have the balance left to ride one. They were a hoot and they were out there where they could be seen. I was glad to see them.
