honestly though scooters going 40 mph on the sidewalk is a huge problem lmao. all i'd have to do to wipe us both out is lift an elbow to scratch my head while they pass
One thing I love about bus lanes is it seems like a lot of scooter people have realized they are pretty good scooter lanes and thusly removed themselves from the sidewalk 🥳
And they never seem to have a bell like cyclists do, so the only warning you get is the whooshing sound right before they pass! It's taken me by surprise so many times and every time it's pure luck that I haven't startled and flung out an arm into some kid's unhelmeted head
I love the e scooters they are super fun but they literally tell you so many times before you can even rent one to not drive on the sidewalk and to use the bike lane or just the street, I do not know why so many people keep doing this
I got hit by one (ridden by a prepubescent child) a few months ago, got a nasty scrape on my leg. They’re dangerous, and only made more so by the fact that most of their users seem to be tweens. Sometimes they pile two or three onto the same scooter and there’s no way that that is safe.
I once walked by a sidewalk corner that was lined w/scooters blocking all of the chair ramps. I like the idea of quick-rent scooters, but I just wish people using them had a bit more sense of other people.
