You know after your first moped accident goes horrifically wrong, as much as I admire the human spirit to get back up and ride again. Free with your moped brothers, hair, or combover blowing in the wind.... Nope. Just doesn't work for me. If you have been seriously injured on a moped. WALK. DO NOT RUN. Really DON'T RUN. It is obvious to me that transportation is not your thing. This individual was showing me crap that Evil Kneivel didn't break, and well....
When your family says, "We're glad its broke (moped) so now maybe he won't get hurt" Ouch. Sad. Forgive me if I don't rush out and try to secure the movie rights to free wheeling tale of mischief and low speed chases, with high curb crashes.
Somewhere there should be one of those spoof motivational posters that says something funnier than I can imagine, and involves a moped, an oversized person in undersized spandex, and maybe if we're lucky. A prison tattoo. Now, hows that for an "In search of Ad" Take that Mr. Lonely Hearts.

Mopeds are great, if you live in an urban environment. Take the Italians. Mopeds are right up there on the transportation food chain as they swerve in and out of traffic like gnats on a warm afternoon, infinitely more maneuverable than the big Fiats or transit buses.
Of course, adding an Italian here and there on a moped and we're talking about a major fashion-statement. yowza.
Mopeds are also wonderful for the eco-conscious working person with a short (and safely routed) commute. They get upwards to 60 mpg and that's niiice if you're in to saving the environment and have decent weather to ride in.
HOWEVER... the environment may not thank you for your protection/fashion/eco-consciousness. I submit my Exhibit A: my pal Robert. Robert is Mr. Green, Mr. Metrosexual, Mr. Rural-Living-Safe-to-Commute-10-Miles-to-Work. A deer bounded out of the verge and RAN INTO HIM, knocking him off of his moped and onto the road. The moped was totaled, Robert was banged up pretty nicely (fortunately his fashion sense was not impared by his safety helmet), and the deer is still at large.
Robert is recouperating from a bad case of road rash, and has recently given up being a vegetarian; his application for a 2010 hunting license has been approved.
