Toronto is scooter heaven

Toronto is scooter heaven -- minus the winter weather, of course, but global warming is slowly fixing that. Not only can scooters officially park on the streets for free in metered spots, after having enough chats with different parking enforcement officers, I'm pretty confident that there is an unwritten policy allowing scooters to park on sidewalks as well, as long as they are left next to a bicycle post. They don't have to be locked to the post, just near it. Add to this the province's recently introduced special class of motorcycle license (M license with L condition) that applies to 50cc scooters (which are not required to have their top speed restricted, unlike in many U.S. jurisdictions), Toronto is effecively the most scooter-friendly place in North America! Maybe one day soon we'll be seeing as many scooters in Toronto as in Paris -- I don't think we'll ever catch up to those crazy Romans!
