    Biking the more paved/urban sections of the Camino?

    Is it possible to rent a scooter to do the Camino?

    Since I have walked the Frances and will have walked the Portuguese this fall, I am curious about the ability to rent a scooter to do the Frances again. I would like to go back and take a little faster journey and yet still smell the smells and take it more slowly.
