I drive my kids stroller like I ride.
... accelerating to pass.
... keeping an eye out and avoiding bumps in the sidewalk.
... hands close to center on the bar.
... finding a line between pedestrians/other strollers.
... I even caught myself a couple of days ago peeking over my shoulder before moving over...
I have serious and deeply embedded mental issues.

When I drive my Volkswagen I never shift out of 1st gear...that whole 7,000 rpms thing doesn't scare me...I just tell my car to keep spinning.

Yeah, but is it brakeless? Do you put your balls on the steering wheel to skid?

Psshhh...duhhhh. I have toe straps on my clutch and gas pedal. The brake pedal needless to say is gone.
