.@NPR, two wheeled safety is not a new story. Folks on bikes are struck all the time by cars due to most cities' abhorrent neglect of proper infrastructure. Scooter safety merely reflects decades of dangerous, inflexible, car-centric road design:http://haveago.city/disgraceful-dockless-drama/ …

We'd like to see more coverage of safety of pedestrians and cyclists in general and a push towards

I think they are great and use them all the time. They have saved me money for gas and parking as well as reducing air pollution from driving my car. As far as wearing a helmet, I think that should be the rider’s choice.

They are moving vehicles therefore have to obey moving vehicle laws and rules and regulations..and thats the bind..kids, even adults dont think they have to obey simple traffic laws when on bike or scooters or even skate boards.

It's called
#entitlement. people think they have the right to be on the road and all should give them preferential treatment. Car/human = 20 times the weight, who loses? Car/human = 15 times the speed, who is the loser? People in general MUST remember that, It is that simple.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ugh. Got rammed into by a scooter that should have been on the street, not the narrow sidewalk I was on.

Just this week in pdx I saw two people double riding and on the streetcar tracks. They fell and she was crying in pain. Luckily she just got scrapped. My point is.. I see so many not following basic traffic laws on sidewalks etc.

There are mobs of Communist Bolshevik ANTIFA thugs assaulting Americans and NPR's concern is electric scooters.

There are plenty of these scooters where I am. I am fortunate that none of them have collided with me, but yeah, there can be safety issues if scooters are ridden too quickly.
