My wife is one of those sleepers who took the rider training course got the endorsement and never rode, mostly because she realized that it wasn't for her.

I was glad she didn't want to ride a bike as she is not particularly good at driving a car.

 There was a time when bikes were greasy unreliable things that needed to be kicked to make them run and ridden by those on the fringes of society....it shoulda stayed that way   :grin:

We'll see how my wife does.  With forced retirement staring me in the face she'll have to start paying for her own gas and at $4,000 per year for tennis-gas a scooter will be looking pretty good to her.

$334 per month for tennis / gas is a healthy hobby!! :rolleyes: :shocked: :huh: :laugh: :grin: :wink:  Better think about part-time work! (lol)  :wink:
