00:00They are a smart way to go around, but they're also a public menace.

00:05You know, I've seen people nearly taken out by them, especially young people,

00:14I don't ride around really myself, as I was a Olympian, you see.

00:20I love to be a rider, but I don't know how to ride really.

00:24But I think it's smart, very smart.

00:31registering for it.

00:33I don't know how that works, and I know that I've been a few months in other schools,

00:37but yeah, I think it's a good idea.
