Mastering The Moped

I've just realised that I didn't report on my first solo trip out on the moped so will rectify that now. I decided to take the plunge on Saturday with a view to riding it just along my work route so that I could use it for that journey if I felt comfortable to. So that's what I did & it went very well so I decided to ride around for a bit longer & did a bit of exploring some back roads including getting more practice on taking corners. Before I knew it I found myself riding into Kalamaki & then to Laganas so from there I braved the main road to get safely back to home. All in all I was probably out on it for about an hour & definitely built my confidence up quite a bit - & yes I did wear a helmet.

  • Well done Sandra!! Just know I couldn't ride a moped, wore out a pair of shoes doing it when I was a student - couldn't take my feet off the floor LOL.
    Will we be seeing you ride "Greek" style next summer - someone riding pillion and your shopping hanging from the handlebars and between your feet?!!! At least you should not have icy roads to contend with out there.
    Take care xx
