#4 is why I don't own a scooter. I have no idea about what kind of shape you're in, XXX, but the hills in San Francisco would probably get you into better shape in a few weeks no matter where you start.

I'm not too concerned about cost. The most expensive one is $10k. That could easily go on a credit card if need be. The one I'm looking at is less than $5k. I'm friends with the techs so maintenance is not a huge concern. I agree with the healthy bit, but I will still continue to walk my dogs 3 times a day for exercise. I'm not worried about parking though; scooter vs. bicycle. Plus I don't want to get sweaty riding a bicycle.
As for my shape, I've lost 10lbs in the past year without trying. I'm actually a bit concerned that I'm underweight. I walk almost everywhere these days. Most of my pants are falling off me. Genetically my family is full of toothpicks, fortunately for me I have some curves in the right places.
I used to ride a bicycle 6 miles a day to college when I lived out in the boonies. My thighs got so big. I was not a fan. I think women should have feminine petite thighs.
