Welcome to the blog for Zen and the Art of Moto Taxi Survival.  Some time back, I flew to Paris on a business trip, and I got stranded at Charles de Gaulle airport in the middle of a taxi strike (thanks for nothing, Uber).

I had a full afternoon of meetings booked at HQ outside of Paris, and I had to get there — tout suite.

So, I caught a ride on a moto taxi… and I learned a few things in the process.

Things about the French.

Things about motorcycles.

Things about myself.

Oh, and a little bit of zen, in the process.
