Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? - eviltoast

The sidewalks are really dangerous where I am, where they are super uneven, have “artistic” curves, and trees that are overhanging really low so like will hit my body.

I go max 15 MPH on my escooter and if I hear a ding ding I jump onto the sidewalk and go a bit slower until you guys pass, since I’m slower and can dismount easier it only makes sense for me to make room. I figure as long as I make room it “shouldn’t” be a problem.

But just wondering if there are any bike riders that are just like shaking their fist at escooter riders.

EDIT: USA!

    The average is still faster than the speed being discussed, so I don’t think their point is entirely wrong

      It’s marginally slower to the point that it doesn’t matter.

      It’s not half the speed like they were claiming, so I think their point is entirely wrong…
