And to think they laughed at Sir Clive Sinclair!

Can we get a Sir Mixalot tag for that space-scooter?

Still, fair play; he picked a dolphin that went with his ensemble rather than a red seahorse. The Genghis Khan wannabe did the same when stealing a wooden horse from the same merrie-go-round.
If they do a TV series, this has to be the theme (esp. from 4.45 on) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3GtsCFZAX0

I don’t think the Time Patrol quite grasps the purpose of a windshield.

Senile Captain Time Patrol daydreams about his plus-sized Muslim girlfriend.

@Bibliomancer – Looks more like the girlfriend is normal-sized with a head three sizes too small.

Traveling through time just makes one so god-damned bemused.

Dad’s cardigan just doesn’t go with the Nebuchadnezzar beard-and-turban. Worst Hallowe’en costume in all of time.

“When I was your age, we didn’t have those fancy time armbands, we had to drive around in time on Tempo-Vespas!”

Laugh if you want to, but a gel Vespa is the best thing in the world for hemorrhoids.

Ah yes, I recognized this instantly, as it’s on the shelves here at Chez XN.
As we see too often here, the content is better than the cover. There are flying scooter things, but they’re big enough for 2-3 people to ride and the windshields are. And our hero has an outward appearance of being a strapping chap of about 30, not someone who needs a Rascal because he’s had a stroke. The men are Very Manly Indeed.
The rest of the characters are more or less in the book as depicted in the short stories and novelettes collected here. Apparently Walotsky didn’t feel up to illustrating the most striking image in the book — the waterfall at Gibraltar as the Mediterranean refilled 5 million years ago. Which has apparently been disproven since the stories were written, but it’s still a lovely sensawunda setting.

At first I thought it was Anals of the Time Patrol, sequel to In the Moons of Borea.
Sorry

Casey Kasem keeps his feet on the pedals and keeps reaching for the stars.

I remember this from Quadrophenia. Especially the Mods vs. Mongol hordes scenes.

To the Tune of Macklemore & Lewis’ Downtown:
Downtime, downtime
Downtime, downtiiiiiiime!
He’s from a diff’rent time and place
With a kinda smug look on his face
On his space moped he can give chase
Let’s see if that horse can keep paaaaace!
