Have you and your family had a Summer of fun?

Have you scooted your hearts out, camped in the garden overnight, swum in the sea and eaten far too many ice creams?
Us too!

Has the warm glow of surviving Summer with the kids begun to wear just a little thin?
Us too!

Are you looking forward to September just a tiny bit?
Yes, us too.

We are proud to present our list of reasons why we are looking forward to going back to school — despite the fact that we will weep just a little bit.

1. Scooting the school run is, in our (totally biased) opinion, one of the best things about going back to school. It ends the nightmares of trying to find a parking space. Not to mention traffic jams and over zealous traffic wardens (we've not missed those). But more brilliantly, telling the children that you are all going to scoot to school will get them out of the house in half the time it normally takes. Give it a go!

2. Scooting means they arrive ready to learn. Raising the heart rate en route means they are alert and more likely to engage with their learning. If you live too far to consider scooting the whole way, parking slightly further away, then scooting the last part still counts.

3. Parking their scooter at the bike shed and taking them to their new classroom. Every year, it gets us. No matter how old they are (and how much they drive us around the twist), the first 'goodbye' of the term never fails to bring a lump to the throat. Especially with their oversized coats and their socks that keep slipping down.

4. New stuff. New water bottles, new lunch bags, new enthusiasm, ready to learn. The clean, empty pages of their books at the beginning of a new school term make you realise how much they will learn and grow this year.

5. Scooting back from school. It's a precious time to learn about their day, their new desk in the classroom, how they found their classroom tray, who they sat next to, and who's their new best friend.

If you're still in holiday mode, don't panic; it is not too late to get organised for the back-to-school scoot.

You can find every Micro scooter online, including the exclusive ranges and the latest colours. You can also shop for accessories — we have a huge selection, including helmets, lights, and bells. We even have a section for spare parts. This means you can update any tired parts of your scooter after all those summertime adventures.

Don't forget to tag @microscooters in your back-to-school scooting photos on social media.

We wish all our intrepid back-to-scooting explorers a very happy first day back (and to all the mums and dads out there, too — we salute you!).
