Scootering in Maui
By April, I’m thinking a scooter is in my future. Should I go with three wheels or four? So I try a three wheeled rental scooter in Maui. It was a bit more maneuverable, but less stable and had less speed to cross streets, and it was only about three pounds lighter. I couldn’t keep up with Earl on a bike, but he was willing to ride out and back a lot, keeping me within watchful view. Come to think of it, I couldn’t stay up with Earl on a bike when I was on a bike. It was just fun going through the neighborhoods, cruising downtown Kihei, feeling the sun and ocean breeze and not worry about falling. One thing I’ve learned with a walker--people give you a wide berth out of consideration. With a scooter, they give you a really wide berth out of consideration and self-preservation.
