oh, one more thing - NEVER, ever ride to the right of traffic in the city like a bicyclist might (don't know where you live). a scooterist was horribly killed by an 18 wheeler near my house a couple years back. he was riding to the right of said truck when the truck took a right onto a ramp, got on the highway and dragged him and the scooter many yards down the highway.
