Bikes: 60's SpaceLiner, 60's Ross Futura, 60's Sears spyder, 70's Zebrakenko, 98 Ross Chimera Hybrid, 90's Schwinn Frontier, and ThunderHorse, my trusty mountain steed, also my gf's 64 Schwinn ladies cruiser and her purple lowrider are at my disposal.

So I have seen a vespa/scooter type vehicle also parked at the bike rack outside my work building, and have seen the same scooter parked in a parking lot at a nearby apartment complex I pass on my way in. Today, as I rode past the complex I saw the owner, a woman, getting on the scooter, I nodded hello and she nodded back and I continued on my way. A little ways down the road I hear a buzzing behind me and she slowly passes me on the left. I was able to keep up right behind her for a little while, and caught up with her at the next stop sign, which we both turned left and then right to enter the company campus main gate. I ended up following her all the way through campus to the bike racks and had a little chat with her as we were locking up our respective steeds. She said, "If I had known we were going to the same place I would have given you a tow!" I mentioned that 2 wheeled transport was definitely the way to go, and she said, "I just wish it was warmer" I smiled because I was all hot and sweaty from my ride and said, "It doesn't bother me much." It was a nice little interaction, much different than if we had both driven our cars to work.
