A gust of winter weather has not deterred one group of downtown motorists from braving the streets during and after the snow, sleet and general slushiness that covered Madison this week. These drivers, however, were not manning the city’s snowplows.
It was moped drivers on the UW-Madison campus and the surrounding areas who took to the roads sporting parkas and face masks during and after Saturday’s storm and Tuesday’s snow.
According to University of Wisconsin Police officer Kristin Radtke, Madison has the highest concentration of mopeds in the country.
