Not to worry! I took my time, had breakfast, listened to some of my favorite arias (I'm training to be an opera singer—seriously), and pulled my scooter out at 10:10 a.m. I like to take a different path to "work" every day, and since it was such a glorious morning, I took the extended route north on Lake Washington Boulevard starting at Seward Park. My 2009 Buddy has a 125cc engine—for reference, that means I can sometimes pull 55 miles per hour with a tailwind. Which I did, until I turned off at Yesler.
To wit: Drive a scooter if you want to feel like your commute is Mario Kart.
