I must admit, I have naively believed Razor Scooters are a kids play toy. Geneva has proved me quite wrong. The Razor has suddenly morphed beyond the backpack and playground crowd to legitimize its place as an urban transportation device. While men, secure in their 
masculinity, can occasionally be seen on Razors, really, this is the realm of middle aged women. The first few times I noticed this, i thought she must have just been 'borrowing' the scooter from her child...but no child was near by. I ran it by Ashleigh, "You HAVE to document this!!!" How can i argue with that? The only problem was being fast enough on the draw to catch it in action. So Ashleigh offered to help out. The Razor to the right was piloted downtown to watch "Sex and the City 2". Photo credits to Ashleigh and no, she did not make me watch the movie.
Razor's are good on the bus too. The top photo is one heading to the bus stop and to the left, one on the bus. I
t all makes perfect sense: you don't have to lock it up outside, you can take it inside with you, it will deftly maneuver in and around densely populated streets and it's good on gently sloping hills. No wonder it's so popular. I had to look into it for myself so i went to the Razor Scooter department at the local store. And you thought Geneva only had good selections of chocolate, watches, cheese and retired Americas Cup boats! Yes, there were kids version of Razor's, but many more urban adventure type.I haven't picked up my Razor yet...I'm still hoping one will show on up Craigslist.
I think you need the red one. That comes in the pink box. With a matching helmet that has racing stripes. Smokin.
