Almost every night my siblings and I go out to the streets at 10:45 to bike, skate, scooter.
We have 2 bikes, 1 scooter, and 1 pair of skates. I tried riding the bike and the scooter but I never tried the skate because I don't know how to skate. haha
The street in our place is sloping down. I usually travel up with the bike or scooter, any of those. But when I breeze down I always use the bike because one time I tried the scooter and I almost had an accident! It was going to fast and I didn't know how to break it. But it's a good thing I was able to keep my balance. That's why when we go down I only ride the bike because I'm scared of the scooter already! Haha!
Anyway, what do you like best, bikes? scooters? or skates? and why do you like that better than the others?

Asking this in a cycling forum you will get a biased answer, but I will go ahead and say the bike.
Of the three, bikes are both the fastest and the easiest to control, so you are more likely to get where you are going safer and faster on a bike. As for the fun factor, that will be personal preference.

Yup is the perfect place to post it, you just have to take our responses with a grain of salt. Is there even a scooter forum? I don't know. It would be interesting to post the same question in three different categories and see how the responses vary.

Definitely prefer riding the bicycle. Braking a scooter will depend on the type of scooter. If the real wheel is exposed you can use the heel of your shoe on the tire to brake. Takes some practice so I would recommend practicing braking this way on level ground where failure doesn't carry a big price.
