In Atlanta the scooters are only scattered throughout a small section of Midtown, so while they are a kind of novelty in that area, I've never encountered one outside of that 1-2 mile radius which is mostly comprised of park and Beltline.
Does anyone in ATL know if people are using these on the Beltline? I'm almost certain it's 'not allowed' but the beltline does make for an interesting pairing with the scooters if it wasn't so crowded in the midtown part.
- dointheatl 8y agoPeople are absolutely using these on the Beltline. I even the other day saw a whole flock of Bird riders pass two of the Beltline bike cops, and neither officer so much as batted an eye.
- Multicomp 8y agoI have seen a few on the beltline, but they are additionally common on North Ave or Ponce.

- echelon 8y agoThey're on the Beltline every day. I nearly got mowed down by a flock of teenage girls on bird scooters the other day. They were riding side by side and didn't seem to care about pedestrians. I wish the app would turn the Beltline into a deadzone and shut the scooters down.
