Powered Scooters Speeding Kids to the ER

When I was a kid, we rode our bikes everywhere. Everyone had a bike. Regardless of kids getting into accidents on these things (I remember plenty of kids getting hurt on their bikes, too), why do kids need them anyway? I'm sure they're fun, and everything, but why are kids too lazy to ride bikes anymore? I can't imagine coming home every few days and trying to tell my parents I needed gas money for my scooter. Out in the neighborhood my parents live in, I see a lot of kids riding around in golf carts now. Golf Carts! Ridiculous. Maybe I'm just getting old, but riding my bike all over the place was one of the things that really stands out about being a kid.
