  • Jonathan Ogilvy

    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).

NYC Transit Strike Day 2

2005_12_20t155859_301x450_us_transport_n I caught this photo on the news wires yesterday. Scooterists fighting with cabs is a normal occurrence in NYC every day, but I guess when they are the ONLY two types of vehicles allowed on the road in Manhattan (except for cars with at least 4 people) it becomes a newsworthy pic to snap. A lot of scooterists on the various discussion boards out there have made note of the lack of news coverage on scooterists making it in. Yet we have all seen and continue to see scooterists riding around Manhattan unfettered! One comment on the news was overheard yesterday by a fellow scooterist:
"I saw someone on one of those scooters coming across the Brooklyn Bridge." - NBC4 News at 9:25
