Scooter (credit: CBS)
Small and fast, a scooter is an excellent means of transport for sightseeing in the city. Faster than a bicycle, yet easier to park than a car, a scooter makes for a quick and reliable way to make it from one end of town to the other. Whether you're taking in the sights downtown, riding through a small town in the mountains or zipping around the Pearl Street mall, your scooter will take you where you need to go. Rent one for the day at one of these shops.
