"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Investing in helping diversify anything infrastructure related in a city of that size is always going to have a positive return on investment. The best example was snow shoveling, when people can go to work, they can participate in the economy and pay taxes. With this, people will more readily ride bikes for routes that are slightly too long to walk, reducing car traffic, speeding it up at the same time while reducing wear and tear on the street surface and ecological impact which comes with it's own price tag.
