maybe 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) dorkiness
b) 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.
