That's a big plus for this kind of riding.<BR/><BR/>Stay safe out there and keep it slow!<BR/><BR/>Steve Williams<BR/><A HREF="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</A>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103839162518790274.post-12959644317085226882007-12-30T21:32:00.000-08:002007-12-30T21:32:00.000-08:00Happy to hear that you got your ride!

When I ride my bike, I get that wonky feeling from running out of energy (bonking) but it's strange that on the scooter I can get a similar feeling even though I'm not working terrible hard. Mind you, I've discovered a whole new meaning to the word cold since I've started scootering!<BR/><BR/><B>joe</B><BR/>I'm not trying to be ballsy, I'm just trying to be really careful when I get into a situation like I did the other day.

It can affect judgment much as alcohol does.<BR/><BR/>One big difference between riding a bicycle and riding a scooter or motorcycle is that a bicyclist is using his muscles and generating heat. A motor-driven rider simply has to dress warmly enough for the weather. I've done both, and frankly, I prefer riding a bicycle at low speeds in nasty conditions. There's less wind chill and I (usually) stay comfortably warm.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.com
