Or there probably already is--helmets. Everybody on a scooter (and the rare motorcycle) wears a helmet. At first I thought how conscientious they all are. But then it occurred to me that no one on a bike wears a helmet, but everybody on the scooters do. Must be a law that gets enforced (as opposed to ones that don't get enforced, like smoking in the train station).
On the subject of scooters, Maren finds it funny to see women in high heels riding them. I love the men in business suits with their ties flapping in the wind. They are all crazy drivers though--I've even seen them drive up on the sidewalk. Carson says you take your life in your hands to cross the streets. I say that applies to the sidewalks as well!

That makes me think of A Traveller in Rome and his commentary on the crazy bikers/scooters/drivers. Even that holds over the decades, eh?
ReplyDeleteMikkel says it's the same way in Cosoleacaque, Mexico! He's seen people nearly run over trying to cross the streets. And the bicyclists just take it all in stride and weave in and out of the crazy drivers like it's no big deal.
