I think moped riders in a city environment are not douchey. :)</p> <p>ETA: And obviously I need to watch this week's Up All Night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56854 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:51:33 +0000 googly-eyes 56854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my personal preference but I don't think "douchy."</p> <p>I've run into far more problems with motorcyclists and bicyclists, but maybe only because there are more of them than mopeds... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56853 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:51:09 +0000 Modern Daisy 56853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always look at people riding mopeds and think they're being very economical and green. I've never seen them as douchey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56835 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:32:43 +0000 babynumber1 56835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we call them DUI mobiles- the only people I've ever heard of around here (NC) have them bc their lisence was taken away for drunk driving. So yea, total douchebags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56831 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:28:20 +0000 tequiero21 56831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think of delivery men. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56827 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:22:44 +0000 chopsuey 56827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think men should ride mopeds.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56787 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:43:35 +0000 mrsguinness 56787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are very popular where we are living overseas...I don't think mopeds are douchey but most of the time the drivers are! We see a lot of moped accidents here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56777 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:23:17 +0000 BananaPancakes 56777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're fun, but I also live close to UF (a university town) and there's a good sized community college nearby where everyone rides them.</p> <p> I personally don't really know anyone over the age of like 25 that owns, one, though. Central FL = lots of elderly drivers = not smart to drive anything less than a tank most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56737 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:47:14 +0000 MH.Abroad 56737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In Europe we call them "Butt Cruisers"... the opposite of a crotch rocket. It's um.... not a compliment. </p> <p>They are great for girls to ride though! So cute. :)</p> <p>So I guess that confirms the negative connotation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56731 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:55:53 +0000 Andrea 56731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering that after I saw the episode, too. I never knew that. They seem wimpy but I have never thought of them as "douchey". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56700 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:48:53 +0000 mrbee 56700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A Vespa is usually referred to as a scooter, since it has a platform you can stand on. A moped is usually more like a motorcycle with a weak engine. They often don't require a helmet bc their engines arent that strong, altho maybe that rule has changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56697 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:31:53 +0000 BSB 56697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are mopeds different from vespas? Anyway, here in Seattle, we see them all the time. We are car people so they are not for us. I don't have any problems with them, though. Whatever it takes to save on gas. I do think some motorcyclists are worse than mopeds/vespas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56694 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:04:33 +0000 Sha 56694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i *think* so. vespas are cute though, i'm not sure how that's different from mopeds? i think i am biased though bc an ex had a moped...and was a douche. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-mopeds-douchey#post-56693 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:03:03 +0000 mrbee 56693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was a plot point in this week's "Up All Night"... so I thought I'd confirm it here on Hellobee.</p> <p>Are mopeds douchey? </p>
