So I got my motorcycle permit for my 40th birthday, and have been riding my scooter to school every day that it doesn't rain. Sorry, MTA! (No fucks were actually given in the making of this awesome decision.)

Nice, I used to commute to work by scooter from Astoria to the Flatiron district. Loved that ride.
Be careful with just your permit though -- periodically mc/scooter "safety" checkpoints are set up around the city and they'll impound your scooter if they catch you without a mc license (they also check for inspection sticker and current plate registration sticker). I often got pulled over on 2nd Ave just south of the Queensboro Bridge.

^^^ very cool. Would love to see it incorporate population density somehow, so you can really see where people are underserved... though I guess there are other maps for that.

10 minutes isn't that much. i could hit a passing M train with a tomato from my window and it still takes 5-6 minutes to walk to the station.
