Lyudmila: Pensioner Scooting Around Moscow

MOSCOW: It is not a site you normally see – in fact, I think it is the first time I have seen a pensioner moving around Moscow on a kick scooter during my 15 years here….

Lyudmila, 57, was returning from swimming when I saw her riding along the sidewalk parallel to the Moscow ring road.

She said her son bought her the bike about a month ago and that she attracted a lot of attention from other pedestrians.

”He bought it so that I would lose weight…but I haven’t lost any weight yet,” she laughed.

Since that day, I have seen two more pension-age individuals getting around Moscow on a foot scooter.
