    I know I’ve mentioned them a few times lately but these neuron rental scooters have completely changed my view on living in Docklands. I don’t tend to get out and walk much but these things are getting me outside more. The beauty of the rental over being something I own is that I don’t need to worry about it if I want to stop somewhere. If someone else takes it I can always find another nearby or walk or get on a tram.

    I would love my own that’s a liiiiittle quicker but I’ll take a 20kph top speed over not stressing that it’ll get stolen.

    If I moved out to a suburb or town I’d consider buying a nice quick one though even just for recreation.

        Or go very far. I do love me a random road trip. Visiting my family out in Melton would be an ordeal too.

        I did just transport a bag of groceries from Woolies back to my apartment though. There was milk in there and Docklands has very fashionable cobblestone ‘features’ at the ends of some streets so now I have milkshake.

          I would not like to ride something small on the big streets. 😬
