2008

It's 2008. Oil prices topped $100 a barrel, and gas jumped up to $3.19/gallon. News stories speculate about $5 gas. Parking cost increases took effect downtown. Traffic is bad, and promising to get worse with new "traffic calming" measures. Maybe you made a resolution to live a more "green" lifestyle. But what can you do?

Get a scooter!

If this is the year you want to add the fun and benefits of a scooter to your life, then you'll want to do the research to find the one that is right for you. Scooter Lancaster wants to help with a 2008 buyers guide. Just click the 2008 in the list of tags on the right side of the screen to see all related articles. I'll be adding them over the next couple months so you'll be ready to make a decision when the weather breaks. You'll also want to check the FAQ.

In the meantime, I recommend looking into getting a motorcycle license. It's cheap and easy, but time-consuming, so it's the perfect winter prep work. It's not required to get a 50cc scooter, but having it will allow you to test other sizes as well. And how will you know if you don't try?
