Since then, two-person teams of ticketers, clad in yellow-green reflective safety vests and quasi-law-enforcement outfits, can be often seen roaming the streets with ticket books and digital cameras, and their favorite target is scooters parked, well, anywhere. They say it is to relieve congestion on sidewalks, but scooters are far less numerous than parked bicycles, which are not similarly impeded from parking, and still clutter the sidewalks as always.<BR/><BR/>There is no official scooter parking, and since parking a scooter on the sidewalk is now illegal, you effectively cannot park a scooter anywhere in Tokyo except for private property and special parking lots--only the ones that accept scooters, which are not common. You usually have to walk a long distance from and to the lots in addition to paying fees comparable to car parking in a big city, making it rather useless to have a scooter in a significant way.<BR/><BR/>So, unless you have the ability to park in a spot on private property--and in Tokyo, parking lots for stores are rare--you effectively cannot ride a scooter in Tokyo anymore. So, kudos to the Tokyo government (run by that nationalistic scamp, Shintaro Ishihara), for effectively outlawing a fuel-efficient mode of transportation in the name of scraping up a few more bucks from parking tickets.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, you touched on an issue that massively annoys me, so I had to vent. Your fault.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027590154507641968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-37544380524843250252008-08-17T16:13:00.000-07:002008-08-17T16:13:00.000-07:00the vespa is the road to happiness, indeed!! thank...the vespa <I>is</I> the road to happiness, indeed!! thanks for the <A HREF="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3293/746/1600/dan_me_scoot.0.jpg" REL="nofollow">rides</A>, they always made my day! <BR/><BR/>i've just now decided that my next boyfriend MUST own a scooter, and be an avid rider. everyone else need not apply. i'm very serious about this, i don't care if you're a <A HREF="http://www.iscootny.com/nude/5th_nude_run.htm" REL="nofollow">nudist</A>, have lobster claws for hands, or if you smell of goat's milk, as long as you own a scooter and have an <A HREF="http://www.iscootny.com/mc_license_4ny.htm" REL="nofollow">Class M</A>, you can be my boyfriend. i'll pack a picnic basket, we'll go for rides and picnics...<I>nude</I> of course...Jezzkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586676740746070613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-29660082229139669052008-08-17T12:25:00.000-07:002008-08-17T12:25:00.000-07:00Wow, Dan, it just struck me to thank you for the e...Wow, Dan, it just struck me to thank you for the enlargenatored versions of your cartoons that you have linked up. As a long-time-ago-failed superhero cartoonist, I really enjoy the way you draw, the hook you can put on a line, the slight tremble in the right place, the play of thin and thin, etc. We fans could get by with smaller versions, but what you do offer us is really good of you.Brad Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579026853291408329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-76278242645569186032008-08-17T12:10:00.000-07:002008-08-17T12:10:00.000-07:00wow you got your game back on!hahahahawow you got your game back on!<BR/><BR/>hahahahadoug nicodemushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878123200691241584noreply@blogger.com
