Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!

"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Vision Zero guidelines appear to be working as intended! Fingers crossed that many more cities start adopting these principles.

The police had to shoot and run over people themselves to seem useful. Or maybe that's why they hang out in the 20mph zones along the 30mph roads leading to the freeway. They just got nothing to shoot.

Or they hang out in the 25mph zone going 74mph. Killing the young girl in the crosswalk gets you two years of paid vacation before finally being fired.
