You don't have to use bike/scooter sharing to see that it's an eyesore, or that people frequently drive at unsafe speeds down sidewalks. That's no more self-centered than thinking that you should be able to drive a scooter down the middle of a sidewalk meant for foot traffic, then leave it sitting wherever you want so other people have to deal with it.
- Swenrekcah 6y agoI love the scooters but I completely agree that they should never be ridden on sidewalks except as a short connection between other lanes. They belong on the road (<=30mph) and cycling infrastructure. Regarding the eyesore and clutter, just designate one parking space every 500m or so to be scooter space and the problem is solved.

- ghaff 6y agoI must say I don't understand that. That's about a 15 minute walk. Even a mile doesn't seem like something a healthy person (which a person riding a scooter presumably is) really needs a transportation aid for.
