Trikkes: Cool or dorky?

[Svend]

I've read about trikkes http://www.fitter1.com/trikke-scooter.html?mtcPromotion=collage>trikke but never saw one until tonight on the bike path near my home. Sort of a three wheeled combination of scooter and roller blade that you rock and sway to propel into motion.
Looks like a good way to get fit and have fun, but would you want to be first on your block to have one?

I like that everyone agrees so far!
These trikkers really take up a lot of room to get the sway action, much more so than rollerbladers who are idiotic* enough in my opinion.
I've also seen those tiny motorcycles that you can pick up and carry. What the hell are these noisy and dangerous things doing on my bicycle path?
I'm just waiting for the friggin' Segway to take over the parks and roads, then I'm outta here.

*not that there aren't some nice and intelligent bladers, they probably post here.

If this was 100 years ago we would all be telling car drivers to get a horse. This is a great ingenious gadget. And they dont cost nearly as much as I thought they would.
