So I'm commuting home from work today on Interstate I-494 near Newport, MN. Its the height of rush hour, bumper to bumper traffic going 65 to 70 mph. I look to my right and I had to do a double-take...I see this old pudgy guy on a scooter so small it didn't look legal on the freeway, he's wearing jeans, a t-shirt, no gear AT ALL. He's got his right hand on the throttle and his left hand holding this huge whopping iced drink with a straw. I mean this thing looked like a Big Gulp and the guy looked like he was tooling around the neighborhood after visiting the Seven 11. For a minute I felt a little silly in my textile over pants, neon mesh armored jacket, gloves, helmet, the works...then my common sense kicked in and I realized, one false move (or teenage girl texting behind him) and this guy is a bloody streak on the interstate with a trail of ice cubes behind him. Other than squids on sport bikes in shorts and flip flops, anyone else see something this ridiculous lately?
