It has been well over a month and a half since I purchased my Milano scooter to save on gas as well as help reduce my carbon footprint on this beautiful earth we must all share!
I find it very relaxing to cruise around town on my scooter. It is also much more entertaining when I have to run my errands. I am having conversations with people I may have never met or spoken to before. Just today I was at Staples running an errand for work and while getting on my scooter a nice couple approached me asking how I liked it, how far I go, how fast it goes and a bunch of questions that they too have been curious about. I am more than happy to take a few moments out of my day to express my enthusiasm for riding my scooter.
Today I would like to share with you news of my previous shopping trip. Here is a photo to show you that if you do decide to purchase a scooter, it is still possible to do your quick errands and grocery shopping at the end of a work day. The photo shows all of the food that I picked up in one quick trip to the grocery store: 1 gallon of milk, 2 boxes of cereal, a loaf of bread, check mix, ice cream, 2 packages of chocolate chip cookies, Pop Tarts, 3 cans of food and some sugar free grape Kool-Aid, a package of Snickers, Three Musketeers and some popcorn! Those all fit nicely into my bag and my seat on my scooter. I could have even picked up a few smaller items but I didn’t want to push my luck!
In addition to the bag I have bungeed onto the back of my scooter I have a stretchable bungee net that fits over anything to help keep things on the scooter. That was a great investment as well. If something is too long to put in the seat or the bag then I simply bungee it to the bag!
I would love to hear your stories if you have decided to purchase a scooter, motorcycle or bike for alternate means of getting around. Happy Riding!

Well, good for you. Gas saving is really helpful, at the same time it can lessen everyday carbon on our air. The fun thing is, the money that you can save from it can be used to purchase groceries that you want.
