Stealing the headline from Fark.com, but I guess today a "scooter lot" is opening on Gay between 3rd and High

Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay St.
Re: Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay S
Oh, also, the Fark comments thread: http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=3737771
I expect to see the discussion changed from scooters to mopeds, with lots of sweet moped pics.
Real men ride mopeds
up.
Re: Real men ride mopeds
dammit, is the fact that it's on gay street some kind of joke?
Re: Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay S
Those thoughtful asshats.
Re: Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay S
lol, how bittersweet. Looks like a compromise between scooter/moped enthusiasts and scooter/moped haters. "Alright, we'll let you have your parking lot, but it looks like the only available spot is on Gay Street. Bummer."
Re: Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay S
...from the NBC4 article...
It's difficult to get an exact estimate as to how many scooters are being operated around the city, but some estimates are as high as 3,000.
"With the fuel injection engines, it should get about 100 miles per gallon under normal use," Beam said.
But there are drawbacks.
Scooters are now mixing into the flow of traffic.
_WTF is going on here?_ Looks like _someone_ on staff is a little biased and siding with scooter/moped haters.
Re: Columbus, OH to Offer Scooter Parking on Gay S
Nah, a few lines down they have:
_"But as the price of gasoline remains high, scooters may not always be the vehicles that are "in the way."_
I think they are referring to the increase in the number of moped/scooter vs. car accidents when they said drawbacks.
