Unfortunately, the Electric Scooters Are Fantastic
> Unfortunatelymaybe i didn't read carefully, but i didn't catch in the article what he proposes is unfortunate about it.> can they succeed despite their essential dorkiness?wait ... what?!?a) dorkinessb) essential dorkiness?wow. just wow. it doesn't seem like a clickbait-y sensationalist subtitle. it seems like the author really means it. omg, am i a dork?? i love these scooters. it never occurred to me in the slightest that they are dorky. and in fact, i see all kinds of beautiful people (and normal people) riding them. is this maybe an east coast / west coast thing? Maybe the author cares about presenting a certain adult image, and the scooter makes him feel childish, since yes, they are fun to ride. That's what makes me think it's coastal.I love how the photo shows folks riding without helmets. AFAIK all the scooter companies make clear you must use a helmet (I don't).  At least in the photo they are in the bike lane and not the sidewalk.> Doesn’t riding in the bike lane annoy cyclists? Yes, of course. Cyclists are annoyed by most stimuli.lol
