Helmet rental? Not a hard problem to solve. Already being done at ski resorts and go kart tracks across the country. They usually give you a "sock" to put over your head.
Also, if you rent a "real" scooter or motorcycle they usually have helmets you can use.
- finnh 9y agoSki Resorts and Go Kart Tracks are non-moving locations. Scooters that you can leave anywhere, and find anywhere - that's not just "helmet rental in location X". That's "helmet rental _anywhere_". Seems like a hard problem to me.
- dvt 9y agoJust to clarify: a "sock" won't work here, you need an actual hard helmet. The problem is that Birds are left just willy-nilly (on any street/at any location). It would defeat the purpose of the concept to have "base camps" where people grab helmets.
- hahamrfunnyguy 9y agoGot it, the article made it sound like there were fixed locations. Also, a sock is just a term for a disposable liner that goes inside the helmet.
- dvt 9y ago> Also, a sock is just a term for a disposable liner that goes inside the helmet. Yeah, I know. I thought some places (like kiddie go-kart places) only give you the sock and don't require the hard helmet to go with it but maybe I'm wrong.
