LOL, that is awesome.

Oh man it's so true!

How many times has that been the case for people!

And people wonder why so few try and go green!

Get a proper scooter.

And he even makes a cameo, hah! :D

Yes, I thought that was a nice touch :)

Sad note.. the amulet, it does nothin'! On mundane hazards. :O

Poooor Candi...

Bicycle is more greener than a motorboard.

I always use a bicycle, but I will be getting a moped soon for use for long distance trips.

*pimpslaps cyclist*
Poor Candi

And there's no room on a scooter to conceal weapons! BAH!

I lol'd.! :)

[snickers] I can see this happening :)

Oh yeah...so true in so many ways!!

who was that Jack ass Giraffe...

Oh

Walking is the safest bet, but then again, is like twenty miles to work...

Better get on my worst clothes and take the Bus again...

I assume she thought the bus was more traumatic?

Scooters aren't safe!

(laugh) That's almost EXACTLY what happened to me when I did something similar!!

I used to ride a non-motorized scooter so i know this well.

Is she not wearing her protective amulet?

Clearly she does not wear it to work.

Oops, typo. "Too fancy"

awww poor Candi

Well hopefully she can bounce back from this time of heavy peril

Crash helmet.

Protective padding.

Good medical benefits and sick leave.

...and then maybe Candi can ride on one of those things again.

Reminds me of a co-worker years ago who had to ride a scooter to work after wrapping his car around a pole while DUI and losing his license. He had some interesting times since he had no brakes and actually had literal 'break shoes' he wore so he could stop himself at stop-signs and lights.

NOw that's a good story!

Sounds a lot like what I deal with on the bike... Except we only kinda-sorta have bike lanes here. They put "Ride bikes here!" markings on lanes, but they tend to put them in the stupidest places ever, like just before one lane splits into a turn-only lane that occupies the former "bike lane" space.

I've had to wrap myself around a stop sign when a truck made a right turn with no warning and no signal... I've also gone bouncing along the sidewalk after I dodged some woman with a baby stroller. ^_^;;

Ugh, that is one reason I do not ride my bike much here in Texas: drivers.

My options are "Ride bike", and "walk", so I go with the bike. After being harassed by police about riding on the sidewalk (after two years of living here and riding everywhere), I FINALLY got a straight answer about it, and now know to avoid the downtown area. It's legal outside of downtown, and I'm not about to try to hope cars are willing to share the road here.
