(The mayor rides a red vespa. Who’s scooter he’s sitting on? John?)

DENVER — The little red motor scooter pulled up beneath the tall dome atop Denver’s city hall, and the rider strolled right past the security guards into the mayor’s office.
Which was not surprising, because the man on the scooter was in fact Mayor John W. Hickenlooper, who tools around this sprawling city on a red Vespa as part of his effort to remind local residents of the need to save energy amid skyrocketing oil prices.
