Scooter Riding Season

The sun is hot overhead and the wind is cool on your back. Perfect time for riding a scooter.

It's always good to ride defensively. Don't let car drivers edge you off of the road when they're passing. Control your lane by driving in the center of the lane or a little towards the left of the lane. Too close to the center line and you risk being side swiped by an inattentive driver on their cell phone or fumbling through their cd case as they weave in and out of their lane. Bastards.

I've seen an 80 year old grandma with her cotton ball head texting on the phone with one hand as her car drifted into oncoming traffic. Makes me grimace with lips stretched and teeth bared.

Be careful out there. Safe riding.
