Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If only it was safe for e-scooter riders to use the road, alas the road is filled with cars that will absolutely turn them into paste.
In my city tons and tons of people use e-scooters and it's fine, because as it turns out people ride on sidewalks because it's the only non-suicidal option.
I don’t know your city, but in America it’s very well established that riding bikes on the sidewalk is less safe for cyclists as well as other sidewalk users. This applies to e-scooters just as well, and includes car dominated cities.
Turns out people are really bad as judging relative risk when it comes to traffic. If you live in a modern western city, I bet your city is the same.
How about don't ride electric scooters at all? I did that for my first year in china when they first came out and then threw it into garbage because it's dangerous and I'm not a child
i guess that must be true because children are clearly capable of riding e-scooters safely
