What do you love most about your neighborhood?
When I walk outside my door, I’m already where I want to be. Everything is within walking distance.
Where are your favorite places to walk with gita?
Piedmont Park—she’s always a conversation starter and I love the green market and never ending string of festivals, and Trader Joes.
What ’s your favorite feature about gita?
I love that she can carry what I would usually have to hop in the car to go get—those items that are just a little too heavy to carry a mile or so.
What do you like most about gita’s design?
Pretty much everything. I love her shape, the sound she makes when she’s just powering up, and when she stands up at the ready when it’s time to go!
How has gita made your daily living easier?
Rosie makes it easier to shop for groceries, because I’m not limited by what I can physically carry.
What do your friends and family think about gita?
Everyone loves her and the attention she gets when we’re out and about. They are fascinated by how she moves, what she can carry, and generally how cute she is. My sister sent me googly eyes and lashes for her, stay tuned...
If more people lived the gita lifestyle (walking rather than driving), how do you see that benefiting communities?
In Atlanta, traffic is a recurring frustration for anyone who doesn’t walk everywhere—and driving is stressful—so think of gita as one more tool in your health and wellbeing toolbox!
