        I was just in Austin and the scooters were getting used heavily on a 104 degree day. If it weren’t for the scooters, I’m sure all of those people would have been in their cars. BTW, plenty of people rode them on the sidewalk and everyone was chill about it.

        Austin was amazing last weekend because of the scooters. Everywhere. Never a wait, always a ride.

        And bikes are those things for the weekends with spandex and protein bars because the secret is out that golf really is the worst thing in the world.

        It's unfortunate - I'd be most curious about income vs usage, my guess is that it matches this distribution

        I’d definitely think the higher the income, the less it’s used.

        In Tel aviv, where there is a thriving Tech scene, many of the riders are devs and designers that makes substantial higher 💰 than the rest.

        I don’t understand this. On a scooter you can park for free literally right in front of your destination! What do rich people like more than free primo parking

        But yes, sf's unnecessarily belligerent attitude towards scooters drives me crazy.

        True, although it's probably not just California. Seems to me the whole state of US public, private and co-share transportation is pretty confused.

        Kinda proud and surprised that Atlanta has such a positive outlook. At first they seemed like frat pack rockets, but these days every demographic has seemed to embrace them. For a car town, they are really transformative. (Caveat: we only scoot on sidewalks. Roads are for work.)

        Having spent time in both SF and Atlanta (currently living in Midtown ATL for the year) I can see why they are so popular compared to SF. SF = too many scooters, crowded and small sidewalks and roads. ATL = open and wide sidewalks so pedestrians and scooters don’t contest space.
