I walk about 10 Km per day as part of my commute doing home visits. I don't mind the walks, especially on nice days, since they're broken up into a bunch of 15 - 20-minute segments but I'd like to save some of the time I spend.
I considered a Honda Gyro Canopy and if I could count on parking it would be my first choice, but I'll have to park it at each visit for about 45 minutes or so and finding parking nearby the families' homes may be difficult. A shame since I carry about 5 - 10 kilos of stuff with me all day and it would be great to just toss it in the back of the Honda. It would cut costs and commute time as well. If it was a few minutes I wouldn't worry, just like all the delivery drivers, but I'm guessing that consistently illegally parking for up to an hour in the same places each week wouldn't end well for me. Though they tend to be residential areas and I guess I could just ask about nearby bicycle/gentsuki parking... I'd REALLY like to not be constantly on the trains all day.
So, given that I'm stalled on the Honda idea, I saw that a lot of kids ride these kick scooters (see pic) and I was wondering what the legality of an adult using one would be? Beyond legality (assuming it's not illegal) what would the practical aspects be if a police officer seeing me zipping along on one? I'd guess they don't know the laws about it since nobody older than 12 or so rides them. I don't want the hassle or expense of a folding bike since folding and bagging would use up all the time I save. I figure I could grab a duffel bag and toss the scooter in it in order to be polite to my fellow train travelers.
Bad idea? Any advice on the Honda idea?
