This man appeared rather nonchalant as he drove a ride-on lawn mower across the street at the Springfield and Dilworth intersection near the Orchard Park mall in Kelowna earlier this week.<\/p>\n
He passed a cyclist, vehicles and even an RCMP SUV as he bounced along on a sunny, blue sky day around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 6.<\/p>\n
We may have skateboards and scooters and bicycles, e-bikes and one-wheels and accessibility scooters but lawn mowers continue to fall far behind in travel options. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
