Over on the other side of Atlanta from Shawn - Bicycle riding is not an option. Scooters are risky as well. The roads are not made to handle "slower" traffic, IE no burms.
Unless you can merge and drive the speedlimit ( or reasonablly close) you are going to have a very risky ride.

But I DO agree that level of risk is personal. I would have one of these. almost all my driving is Commute - but on the off chance i needed to - I could take the family somewhere (of the highway) : )

I say bring them here ASAP - we need more options. more options leads more people to consider what they NEED...
