san francisco, usa

one nifty way of getting around san francisco as a tourist isn't to ride bikes, travel on cable cars, street cars or taxis or even on the muni buses or bay area rapid transit (or bart).  no siree, its to ride one of those motorbike scooter things called gocars

these things yell out tourist information as you drive past them and also give you gps directions between places. the only downside, and its a big one, is that you are screaming "im a tourist" everywhere you're going.  not something i'd wanna do, but there were plenty of these little lawnmower sized engine cars running around the tourist areas of san francisco whilst i was there.  most of them were seen near the golden gate bridge.
