LIME and BIRD e-scooters
Posted on 8/11/18 at 1:57 pm

Over the last 6 months ATL has seen them spread to every corner ITP.
$1.00 starts the ride, $0.15/min after.
BIRD app says rider must wear self-provided helmet, drive in bike lanes only and have a valid DL.
LIME app has no such requirements.
Do NOLA & BR have them?
The BIRD app requirements are idiotic as the e-scooters do not travel fast enough to be on the city streets. And none of the teens riding them have DLs.

I enjoy riding these out here in San Diego. They're everywhere out here and if I don't feel like driving to find another parking spot, I'll ride one. Sometimes, I'll just ride them for fun to a park or wherever.

Everywhere around Mission Beach in San Diego. Stayed 12 days and rode them everywhere. Awesome.

we have them and the bikes here, i laughed because the shite heads were using stolen credit cards and getting access to the bikes, then throwing them in trash cans, Mississippi river, etc.
Just cannot have good things happen in the City, w/o the inner city dwellers ruining it.

LA is having troubles with em. Seems like you cant trust the general public with shite like this, which they honestly should've seen coming.

The best, was this week, one of the shite heads rented one of those scooters to rob some dude, but steal his vehicle.
All that was left, was a scooter in the street.

Denver has them.

They are all over Austin now. I was just driving in the middle of downtown and probably saw about 30-40 people riding scooters, some on the sidewalk and others in the street. Many of them looked like they were struggling to control them.
Last week a woman was in critical condition after she ran into a curb, fell, and hit her head. Another guy is suing them after he says the scooter 'malfunctioned' causing him to face plant and break his jaw. It should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

All over Salt Lake.
It has been everywhere the last 2 weeks.
As I understand....you download an app and it shows you the closest escooters.
Use and drop anywhere.
Many joy riders zipping everywhere lately. And....There has been no uptick of injured riders to the hospital.

They are ruining Midtown. And people ride them in piedmont park even though there are no motorized vehicles allowed. All these people ride them just for fun instead of actually using them to commute. It’s the worst. As someone who walks to work every day and walks everywhere else, it’s a daily battle to avoid them in crosswalks and sidewalks, where they aren’t supposed to be.

Walking past the Fox Theatre this evening and was propositioned. It appears the new game is to hold the scooters and when someone walks up to one they jump up come running and say they’ll sell you the scooter for $10.00.

Panhandlers in ATL are out of control, I would rent one just to get speedily away from the street urchins.

had them for about 2 weeks in Cambridge north of Boston proper. they were banned in Boston from the get go, and the local city municipalities in burbs told them to pick em up or they would all be confiscated immediately
havent seen a single one in a week or so
they were fun as hell to ride though, for the short time they were available

Was in LA a few weeks ago, people were dumping them all over Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Even saw a few down in Hollywood

All over Uptown/Downtown Dallas.
Lady a bit back busted her arse when she tried to go over on trolley tracks.
Annoying as all get out. On and off the sidewalks/road depending what ever works for them. If I see one come my way on the side walk I stand there. Not going to get out of there way when they shouldnt be on it.
