 Like an Allstate, but no motor Snow is falling outside as this is being written. Scootering in Spokane is on haitus, at least until the roads clear, or they invent studded scooter tires. In the meantime, we're gonna make note of a few other types of transportation, examples of which we've seen recently and for differing reasons, have caught our eye. - Lambretta Mark (not Cap'n Mark) in our group sent along a picture recently of a new addition to his stable - a sweet 1963 Sears Flightliner bicycle. Mark's already got the nicest Lambretta we've ever seen, and reportedly has a Mitsubishi Pigeon that's just as nice. We heard him talk about an interest in cruiser bikes last summer, but never knew how serious he was until now!
- Not that it's in the same league as Mark's pedaler, but Rick recently snagged a bike of his own - and since we're showing bicycles on a scooter site, we thought we'd toss it into the mix. Obviously, this one's about fitness and speed, not classic, 60's styling.
- Finally, Old Skool Orin has been digging up photos of some really exciting micro-cars recently, which we really love - but as umMER-kins, can only dream about. Still, it's great eye candy.
We're suckers for wheels. A classic bicycle? A new BMW Isetta or VW Microbus...very, very nice.  Old Skool story - VW (weblink) Old Scool story - BMW (weblink) Mark's Flightliner (Pop-up window) Rick's Modena (Pop-up window)
