What? Vanity's not a good enough reason? grin

Yeah, I hear you! g

There's probably a couple of reasons, I guess... Resorting to a scooter
would be admitting that the injuries over the years have won...

I understand. I'm not there yet, but soon.

That would
be the first step in admitting that the adrenaline induced behaviour of my
youth was not necessarily a good idea and I'm not quite ready for that
declaration right now... Frankly, I didn't think that I would live long
enough for the sort of abuse I put my body though to come back to haunt
me... grin

I didn't do anything to cause my problems, but I have them anyway.

I'm also not all that crazy about something running on batteries so even
if
it was a battery powered bicycle / moped, I wouldn't use it... The
mechanics
of the act of bicycling does not put the strain on my knees that walking
does and it even has the benefit of being a form of exercise...

In order to convince the OSH authorities, you will have to be on the
batteries, but there is noting saying you can't park the scooter, and walk
for part of the day, when the time comes. That is what I probably do.

Good luck with your personal battle, but don't let it win, even if you have
to do the scooter to keep active. Losing is stopping what you do know.
