Conscious mobility, diverse routes and a single destination

lunes, 30 de junio de 2025

I live in Maryland, and getting around the city may seem simple, but it actually depends on many factors: the weather, how much time you have, how much money you have, and even your mood. Sometimes you can take the subway and get there in minutes; other times, you have to wait for a bus that never arrives on time.

Scooters: small, fast, and a little rebellious

In recent years, scooters have become the silent kings of the streets. They're small, practical, and, if you know how to use them well, they can get you out of traffic like you have superpowers. You can use them for short trips, to avoid crowded buses, or simply to feel the wind in your face without wasting gas. The best part is that you don't need to be an expert to ride them, but you do need good balance and a bit of courage if there are lots of curves or people in a hurry. If your city has electric scooters, you could rent one through an app and get around like a local. All you need is your phone, a helmet, and a firm resolve not to crash into a pigeon.

From here, I can see seemingly endless traffic lights, people in a hurry, others more relaxed... and sometimes even a dog waiting for its owner in front of the store. You can learn a lot just by observing. You could discover entire stories in someone's gestures or at a simple bus stop. As the bus moves forward, the traffic becomes part of the landscape and the noise becomes normal. The streets, the trees, the signs—everything goes by so quickly, but if you pay attention, you can find moments of calm even in the midst of the chaos.
