Yes, I ride a moped or what some call a "mini motorcycle with pedals". A few months ago, with the help of my good friend Mikey I bought a
moped! It's a vintage 1970s Pinto, manufactured by Puch and sold at
JCPenney.
I'm a complete novice when it comes to mechanics. I'm constantly asking Mikey questions and searching forums for answers, and it's quite fun and rewarding. The moped community in Chicago is really friendly, and a shop opened up on Western this past summer - MOPED!
You can see my moped in action in this sweet video by Leo Burnett featuring my friend Roberto. Right around 2:49, you'll see my friends flying by and a nice long shot of the city... then a quick appearance by yours truly.
