Spanish Scooters

I was captivated by the scooters in Barcelona. There are thousands of them everywhere. Folks were riding small motorcycles too, such as the BMW F650GS.

In Barcelona, scooters are treaded much as bicycles are treated in the U.S. Traffic laws are applied loosely at best. Parking a car in Barcelona is like parking in Manhattan, but parking a scooter in Barcelona is as simple as pulling up on the sidewalk and turning off the engine.

I got a kick out of the businessmen riding (scooting?) to work in their suits.
