Valery & Daughter Polina: Off to US

MOSCOW: On sunny days, it feels like half the city is either on a bike, skateboard of foot scooter. Valery, 51, was riding a scooter, as his daugther Polina walked alongside him. From the town of Kazan on the Volga, they were spending a few days in Moscow before Polina's flight to the US. She landed a summer job at the Hard Rock Cafe in D.C. through 'Work & Travel.' Valery said he has been using the scooter for some time for health reasons. Considering the foot scooter has only recently become so popular, I asked how people react to him riding one. He said it's accepted in Moscow, but in Kazan, people sometimes think he is trying to relive his childhood.
