Have Wheels, Will Travel

Scootering is a very popular and eminently practical way to get around Paris.  And it's not just for kids; I often see adults in business attire on their trottinettes but it's rare that I have my camera out at the right moment.  Yesterday, I was lucky enough to catch this threesome -- a dad and his two kids -- on their way to school and office.

    I've even seen it in the metro which I suppose is an effective way to manoeuvre the slow walkers. Very cute shot though.

    I thought it was funny when I saw adults on scooter too. So WHY didn't I ever take a photo? Love yours.

    So French: no helmets! The U.S. safety police would be all over this trio.

    Why in the world would anyone feel the need to wear a helmet when using a scooter? That's sooooo stupidly American!

    I totally rode a scooter around with the kids at recess today. I am such a 4 year old!
