    Jonathan began riding Vespas in 1983. Since then a wide variety of stylish transportation has taken him in a big full circle all the way back to riding Vespas in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time it is a veteran software developer's means of getting out of the city, with the wife to the beach (in shortest time), to and from the office downtown (in shortest time).

Ride To Work

My favorite radio station is a black-owned radio station and they're never sorry when little February ends so quickly because, "at 89.5 KPOO, every month is Black History Month."  This is not to say Black History Month is a bad idea. It's more of a random segue, based on what was coming through my speakers and my inbox at the same time. I heard the old saw quoted above from my favorite DJ at the same time as I was opening these photos of Ride To Work Day.

Dscf0021_1 Dscf0030_1 The fight is on for fair parking rights. Go New York! My other favorite radio stations are WKCR and WFMU. Later on, I'll tell you my top eleven radio disc jockeys on the planet.

at Vespaway, every day is ride to work day!
