Scooter mania

Taipei has a lot of cars, but I think there may be even more scooters. No matter the time of day or the weather conditions there are thousands of people cruising through the city on their scooters. Businessman, women in heels, teenagers, people and their kids, people and their dogs - all on scooters. There are designated scooter areas at intersections, and scooter parking areas all along the sidewalks. I don't think I would want to ride one in the city, but they're probably nice to have in the summer if you want to cruise the surrounding hills.
