This week's question
Having struggled to work through the tube strike this week I am considering getting a scooter for my eight-mile, cross-town commute. My neighbour has one and says he'll never get on the tube again. He says my journey will be much quicker. I am used to driving a car, and really don't want to get knocked off a scooter. They appear to come with 50cc or 125cc engines and cost the same as my annual travelcard. Which one do I get? Is it madness? Is it safe?
