Scooting for the US House of Representatives
At the risk of being taken as lightly as the media has taken Dennis Kucinich, I recently bought a Bajaj scooter. Made in India, this machine looks cool, and gets 95 miles to the gallon. That's right 95 mpg. As I've been touring the state, riding the scooter has been both fun and educational. You see the world differently when you're not in the box of a car. You can see people and landscape, and get a real feel for what the landscape is like.
For instance, I know in my mind that Woonsocket isn't that far, but when you scoot there in just over half an hour -- only 10 more minutes than it might take on the highway -- the reality sinks in.
Yes, it still uses fossil fuels, and I did consider the eGo (made in Rhode Island), but I really needed something that would get me to and from distances further than 15 miles away.
