I've been a kid. I've got two kids. It's not that kids are dumb, it's just that they think they know everything.

The issue will be figuring out how to get young people to ride responsibly. Something the world has struggled with for years.

I can't personally see a solution, except something draconian like banning anyone who doesn't have a motorcycle licence from having them.

"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.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

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.
