The Wall Street Journal recently had a piece about dual purpose bikes
being cheap and good for commuters.
I like the idea of fluid mobility, but am no where ready to willingly
give up my kid and cargo-hauling suburban. What I wonder about is
getting too old to start riding. Older first-time riders are their own
accident and injury pool that I'm happy paying a little extra to
personally and anecdotally avoid.
They're not as cheap as the jspanese makes, but the bmw's have some
very nice cargo bag systems. And heated grips! <g>

Even then scooter/,motorcycles are not all that efficient.
Most motorcycles will get city MPG in the 40's.
When my wife and I first started dating, she lived in Adams Morgan
in DC,
which has very little parking. Getting a space is dumb luck and
not even a
Smart car will save you.
I got tired of driving around and looking for spaces all the time,
so I
started riding in on my motorcycle and parked on the sidewalk (out
of the
way of pedestrians) in front of her building. That worked out
really well.
