Try roller blades with a weed wacker tucked under your arm. The wacker head is removed and replaced with a rubber tired wheel.
The wheel is pressed down on the pavement to go and lifted up to stop (eventually).

How about a wheel for each hand and foot? [Amos Kito, Oct 17 2004]

Are you sure a weed whacker generates enough torque to pull me around? |
|

I'm thinking no...definitely no...something bad would surely happen. Any idea that involves a week whacker is set for the local ER. |

Must be my morbid sense of humor. When I saw the article title in the "recent" list, I figured it was "go" as in "die". |
|
| |
I interpreted it as excretion of fecal matter. |

Loriz- I also thought this post was about a fun way to die. |

// Any idea that involves a week whacker//
How does one go about whacking weeks, exactly? |

This is transportation, not culture. The culture part is having people accept it, like in Paris, were you can skate everywhere (stores, the metro...) - like having a superpower. |

The only time I want extra propulsion is up big ass hills when I'm late and I've got a heavy pack. For this, I have passing trucks and busses (except when this stupid cab driver gets behind me and leans on the horn the whole way to warn the truck driver he's picked up a lamprey). |

(Btw: Rollerblade brand sucks, although new ones do have Kevlar laces - real life-saver when somebody shoots you in the shoelace.) |

It would, of course, work better with a Razor (baked). Just call it the Segway LT - does exactly the same thing, 1/50th the price. |

I thought the same as [blissmiss], [LoriZ] and [colaadict]. With weed-whacker propulsion and no helmet, it probably would be. |
