@33MHz@heluecht and I say this as a private owner of a scooter watching all manner of nonsense when it comes to parking and riding safely in an urban environment. It’s unsettling.
@heluecht@33MHz To be fair, the scooter rental market invaded the public infrastructure rather quickly and without much, if any, oversight and now what we have is a mess of micro mobility machines that may interfere with pedestrian and bike safety.
@heluecht@33MHz Sad. Understandably, people think scooter rentals are laissez faire platforms so they just ride and park wherever they like. But then I keep seeing statistics going up around scooter injuries and deaths that are likely preventable.
@habanero@33MHz some time ago at night I watched a group of people who parked their scooters directly in front of a drug store door. I spoke to them, telling them to move the scooters by just some meters and they just mocked me and went away ...
@heluecht@33MHz I’ve seen scooters knocked over in the street and bike lane alike. It’s strange because designated scooter parking is explained upon starting an account with any major platform.
@33MHz yeah. You can only distinguish the walkway from the bike lane by the colour of the bricks. And yeah, that scooter is right in the middle of the bike lane.

@33MHz that's pretty fantastic. but like, what's the cost on that per instance? cheap and small are both pretty nice to have. a WiFi or radio connected, specifically identifiable, speaker would be enough
@33MHz me too! Which is why in this new place, my plan is to stick them indirectly outside the patio window and feed them golden rays. My diffenbachia hates me and is dropping leaves under a grow light so I want to see if actual sun revives it.
