Back long ago in my single days I lived .9 miles from work. I tried riding my bike a few times, but every single time I did I ended up needing to pedal home to get my car to run some errand. I ended up buying a little scooter that got 80 MPG. At least I did not return to work from lunch all sweaty that way.

The brakes were pitiful on the scooter, and they were some little bitty drum brakes suitable for a RC car, but not a scooter. I had to adjust them constantly or it was really scary. My insurance company was charging more for the insurance on the scooter than for my 914. I asked why and they said the experience in paying claims set the rates. I sold it to my neighbors and just drove my car and gave up on the scooter.
