Sure, join in – bikes have two wheels!! join in even if you ride a unicycle, a tricycle or roller skates/blades. Join in if you ride a wheel chair or walk on one foot or two – or even no feet at all. Scooter folks aren’t snobs we just like to have fun and not take up too much parking space.

Thanks jqp but it could not have happened if folks hadn’t backed the idea with emails and phone calls. Now we have to use the spaces. They are there, waiting to be parked in (saw a car using the space last night…..hmmmm took up the entire area). So now it’s up to two wheelers to show the city that we want them badly enough to use them all year around. Let’s use them members of The Rev Puppets Scooter Club (Boise Chapter)!!!

John, I thank you for the honorary membership as well as your kindness. So let’s scoot around!

Sound’s like the name of a cool Indie rock band – can I join?! I don’t have a scooter, but I promise to make “vroom, vroom” noises when I ride my bicycle. Maybe I’ll clip a playing card to my fork and let it click against the spokes. I’ll just have to learn to, “play solitaire ’til dawn, with a deck of 51” – thank you Brenda Lee.

Now if only Boise could place road signage in the downtown area that faces both directions, regardless of the traffic direction on the numerious one-way streets. Wouldn’t this make it much easier for pedestrians to navigate?

Of course, this would make too much sense.

But again, there might be a requirement to conduct a federally overseen Environmental Impact Study, since no local entity would cough up the money for the signs and everyone would turn to the Federal Transit Administration for financial support. Do you realize that the fed’s refer to a positive ruling in such an environmental analysis as a Fonzy? “Eeeehhhh, Mr. C!” – actually refers to a Finding Of No Significant Impact. God, my brain is packed with useless trivia!

This of course would lead to multiple feasibility studies and a long-range implementation plan. All of which would have to include in-depth interviews of the potentially affected populace. But, urban walkers might be hard to find in Boise – since transportation planning engineers would be conducting the interviews and they would confuse “urban walkers” with “street walkers”.

I agree that this is really cool.

However, wasn’t there a recent dust-up about UNPAID parking tickets?? Yeah, I am stretching things a bit, but I could not resist.

Way to go Guardian!

bikeboy – Is it a promotional ladder or something else when one goes from (police beat?) reporter to politician to bureaucrat? At least he should be able to write his own press releases.

507 Main St? Isn’t that like next to the Cactus Bar or at least really, really close to it? Also, if I remember correctly there’s a Moxie on the north side of the street.

Are you buying Guardian? After the photo op of course.
