My Bit of Earth

Behind the Scooter

Some of you will remember that earlier this year Sweet Husband traded in his car for a scooter. At the time, I was really excited about it--thinking of the gas money we would save and how much more enviro-friendly we were being. But the truth of the matter is, after the first few "look how cute my new scooter is" rides, the "we" part kind of petered out. The brunt of the decision to downgrade from car to scooter--both good and bad–-has largely landed on Sweet Husband.

Or at least it had until this week, when Sweet Husband took himself and our remaining car out of town for a class and left me and "Beep-Beep" home to fend for ourselves.

So, how's it been having a scooter as your only means of transportation, you ask?

Beep Beep, Beep Beep, Yeah!

We've been talking about it forever, but got much more serious when gas prices started creeping past the $3 mark.  As of this weekend we're officially less a car, but plus one very groovy scooter.

And yes it is really as fun to drive as it looks like it would be!
