So when he met the MyCityRides team at the Cooper Young Festival and learned about the program, he knew that it was an opportunity that he had to take advantage of.

    S2:Ep5: Meet James - The Flyer Godfather

    After having a car for 15 plus years and thousands of miles, regular wear and tear begins to add up along with the expenses that go with it. For James, after seeing a MyCityRides billboard and attending Scooter School, the choice was clear - the #twowheellife was for him. A month after getting his scooter, his car, that he had for 15+ years became idle - so idle that the last time he tried to crank it up, the car’s battery was dead from inactivity.
