I used to rollerblade from Colin's Mountainview apartment to the train station, and then from the train to the massage school in San Jose, and always felt comfortable with the commute. No idea what it is like today, that was longer ago than I think, and the electric scooters are quite different.

I considered just using my rollerblades here, but the road is still covered with the remains of the gravel that was out down in the ice (which has finally melted), and the gravel doesn't seem to interfere with the scooter tires the same way. Also, two steepish hills between here and work (as I cross a large creek/small river), just steeper than I really want to take on the blades. Scooters have breaks, or look easy to step off and walk if it gets scary.
