    fuck cars and scooters. Pointless pseudo-progressive technology when bikes exist. Any distance you can “scoot” you can also bike…

      But they won’t. They will drive instead.

      As much as you may detest them, they ARE removing cars from the roads and they are an excellent first/last mile combo for public transport.

        I find it hard to imagine people forgoing a car ride in favour of a scooter ride. I just find that really hard to believe.

          Why? It’s a great middle point between bikes and cars:

          • You’re still getting fresh air
          • You still don’t have to exert yourself
          • You still don’t have to hunt and pay for a parking spot and can instead just put it next to the entrance of where you’re going.
          • You can still get to your destination kinda quickly

            I think you two are talking about different things. I think they’re talking about the rental ones.
