I love bikes and scooters and I think car infrastructure is a virus. Still, I think the impact of the “move fast and break things” stance dockless scooter companies like Veo and Lime have (and municipalities allow them to have), where they let people end their rides wherever sucks, and municipalities need to push back. On multiple occasions I’ve had to move scooters and ebikes out of the way for people with limited mobility, and I have to move scooters off the bike path on my commute pretty much every day.
Literally all it takes is to take away a couple car parking spots per block and allocateift for dockless parking.
Scooters say DO NOT RIDE ON SIDEWALK but everyone rides them on the sidewalkk. Fuck those things and fuck the cities for not enforcing that or creating better transportation infrastructure.
fuck cars and scooters. Pointless pseudo-progressive technology when bikes exist. Any distance you can “scoot” you can also bike…
