Yes, they belong on the road. If they’re on the sidewalk, they belong in the trash. Scooter and human.
Yes, pretty sure that’s the law. If they are too scared to drive with the rest of the traffic then they should drive a car or take the bus.
Definitely belong on the road. Even the ones that are technically ‘motorized bicycles’.
HOW is nothing done about this?
I’ve seen them driving in the bicycle lane as well. They look like someone who is trying to get away with something. Not a good “look” for anyone!
I think it might be preferable (to put it mildly) if they stayed off the sidewalks, out of the bike lanes, and learned to drive in and keep up with traffic.
Spike strips.
Scooters and Vespas belong on the streets.
“Motorized bicycles” belong NOWHERE.
Why are pedestrians on the road? Don’t they belong on the side walk and cross walk?
Inconsiderate motorized bastards – forcing innocent bike riders off the sidewalks. There oughta be a law, I tell ya whut.
