I'm starting to realise that a scooter would not be a good idea in Vancouver. With weather like 'freezing rain', 'snow with rain' and '20 consecutive days of rain' an open-air vehicle is not a good idea.
Not to mention that in the past 24 hours on my bicycle I've swallowed two bugs, splashed myself with a discarded McDonalds lemonade by running over it (making my brakes ineffective and sound like a malfunctioning klaxon), and misjudged the path of a police car on a round-a-bout (I swear his right indicator was not on). Perhaps I'll take up roller-blading in Canada. Something fun on those odd sunny days.
You know they say that Vancouver has some of the nicest weather in all of Canada?

Just to clarify, I don't tan. And yes, you can get a sunburn in the winter... Snow reflects.
I believe it's Victoria that has the nicest weather... BUUUUUT if you wanted sunshine, it's called *SUNNY* Alberta for a reason.. gets the most sunshine! Strap on a pair of blades (hopefully when the temperature is above 0.. but doesn't have to be) and go! Awesome fun. :)
My outdoor ed class taught me the joys of snowshoing. Never learned what these joys were, but I did snowshoe! Across a lake!! On a super windy day!! I got blown over!! (literally. My feet were implanted in snow, i fell over sideways)
I knew a biker (push-bike as you oddly call it ;) jk) and basically put on layers, put on a rain jacket, and you *should* be fine.
Personally, I do think that Vancouver has good public transport. But I can't really say much as we have the *worst* transit system in Canada (most likely.)
Or be like the rest of us gas guzzling north americans and splurge on a car. Though watch out for those gas prices!
My all time favorite: GOLF CARTS! I would one day love to just jack one and drive around the city. There's a cover.. rain or shine.. nice little bit of protection.. It's awesome!
All just ideas :) Yes, your blog has become my blog... ;)
Last comment I forgot to add earlier. Vancouver actually has no mosquitos from what I heard! That's gotta be a positive!
