You know Frank it was kind of hard at first and people do still stare sometimes, I amuse myself by picturing them flattened under my wheels. It made it worth it though to be able to go on long outings with my husband and kids and not have to stop and sit down every five minutes or leave early because I was tired or hurting, I think that you will find this to be true once you get over the pride issues!

Demolition scooter! ALRIGHTTTTT! LOL
