One of those would be very handy - we could throw groceries, etc. in the back. :)<br /><br />Italy 2015: I think being on a scooter or even a bike is a great way to see a small place like Key West...parking is not an issue and you can get into places cars (or trucks!) can't. When we were there, we parked our truck just on the outskirts of town and used the scooters to get around.<br /><br />Willow: Even though Key West was OPPRESSIVELY HOT AND HUMID (my ideal temps are anything below 65), I spent the entire two weeks in my bathing suit, sundress, sunglasses and visor and just went with it. At least on the scooter I got a little breeze.<br /><br />Gary: The same friends who just bought the scooter carry two fold-up bikes in their truck and they love it. I haven't actively ridden a bike since I was a kid but when Ed and I went to look at bicycles recently, I got the same giddy feeling of freedom being on it as I did when I was young. It was fun! Ed is a miracle worker when it comes to parking the truck if we're bobtailing, but there are still situations where the truck is a hassle. Having bikes would be great. If you ever get to bike around Long Beach, do it. We have a friend who lives in the Naples area of Long Beach (right in the Belmont Shore neighborhood) and we walked the canals one night with her - it was beautiful. I always see a lot of people biking around there.

It has added at least 30 percent more enjoyment to the OTR life., if not more. Zip away from the truck for nearby coffee, food, libations, etc. No more being confined to TS food and " culture" . I have pedaled from laredo across the Mexican border, bikes across the golden gate twice. Reno and tuscon were great bike adventures as well.

Fond memories of Key West, though. I don't think we would have had near as much fun had we not been pedaling around.Italy in 2015https://www.blogger.com/profile/15622388997537285384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-25120618985828837732012-03-09T04:55:54.496-04:002012-03-09T04:55:54.496-04:00I would love one of them.

It would be so neat to ride around my Town in an APE!!!Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224104422332322541noreply@blogger.com
