Meet The La Dolce Vitas

Here is a great piece on scooter culture in Idaho, where an all girls scoot club named the La Dolce Vitas has formed:

HAILEY - Traffic stopped and a small crowd gathered on

Pine Street
in Hailey to check out a row of wheeled vehicles outside DiVine wine shop.

After some jockeying, their riders, all women, went into formation, every single pair of legs hidden by the distinctive front of their machines. Ten scooters: two red, one silver, four black, one white and two light green, sparkled in the summer sun.

This was the first gathering of a group of Vespa motor scooter owners who named themselves La Dolce Vitas in honor of their Italian machines and the sweetness they've brought to life. As long as the weather holds, they'll be meeting 10 a.m. Sundays at the Hailey Coffee Shop to ride together.
