    I see scooters on the side of the motorway quite regularly.
    The main drawbacks are:
    1. Glass from car accidents that get swept onto the cycle lane. The emergency response people seem to think that sweeping glass onto the cycle lane is a sensible option...
    2. The width of the bridge at the boat club is minimal. Check the width of your bike!

    Those bridges are shockers aren't they! That rubber/tread/whatever-it-is layer they put on is awful, and the one up near Lincoln Road covered in chicken wire is diabolical in winter, slippery as hell. (I used to cycle to work from Ranui to Parnell)
    Watch out for tow ropes and quickly braking cars

    Kewl word "diabolical"

    With moped class scooters if your shoulders fit the gap, everything else will.

    Yup, know that bugger well. The rubber matting is "interesting"... tp put it mildly!
