Cheap wheels
There were 150.000 mopeds
sold in the U.S. last year, and
in three years the sales
figures are expected to be in
the millions. The cross
between motorcycle and a
bike will go a long way on
very little gas, and you can
buy one for about a tenth of
what you’d pay for an
automobile. But most moped
enthusiasts say they nde the
two-wheelers mostly for the
fun of it. A group of 30
women m Walnut Creek,
Cal., call themselves “The
Moped Mamas” and meet
