Vespa City by rexvaughan
Rome is one busy city! And the hordes of Vespas and other motor bikes make it a somewhat noisy city as well. Use of these vehicles makes a great deal of sense: they use a fraction of the fuel of an automobile and take far less room to park. I think a seasoned Roman rider can park one of these things in a 6 inch space! We were very cautious in crossing the streets of Rome as the traffic is never ending. One interesting thing about these two wheeled vehicles is that at home we tend to think of them as transport primarily for the young. While there were plenty of young people on them in Rome, there were also older women, men in business suits, men dressed like university professors, young women fashionably attired - you name it, everyone rides them.
