Good. I was nearly hit numerous times by riders on the sidewalks here in SF. They provided something easy for people to get around, but in the end people were reckless with them. I myself had several close calls riding on the janky streets of SF.
- vkou 3y agoI wish car companies would go bankrupt, too many people drive cars recklessly. (Why are we holding scooters to a higher standard than the utter madhouse that I see on the roads on a daily basis?)
- phero_cnstrcts 3y agoCars normally don’t drive on the sidewalk.
- vkou 3y agoSo what? When I am on the road, so are all the reckless drivers. When will car manufacturers start taking responsibility for the behaviour of their customers? Why do you only hold the vendor responsible for what happens on the sidewalk? Is it some kind of sacred space? Why do we just accept that people will behave like savages on the road running parallel to it?
- scotty79 3y ago> When will car manufacturers start taking responsibility for the behaviour of their customers? I'd say never. Because they successfully lobbied against it and shaped public perception way back. They used to be blamed for it. They just acquired and spent enough money to make it disappear permanently.

- wrx100 3y agoWalking used to be safer (and more convenient) where I live and work. And now with reckless scooter riders there seems to be no escape.
