I saw one of those scooters in Columbus, OH last time I was there (July) and had a nice convo with the bloke about it.

Looked quite cool.

Those damn scooters are left all over the place here, some even with lights still on. They aren’t very well lit at night and are often ridden erratically. I hope they go away soon or are banned.

They do look like what a kid uses to get to primary school with.

They're also old hat ... I'm running into the Asian students on these over the last 6 months ... saw about 6-8 today on campus.

The bike, or the scooter? I presumed the bike. Others here presumed the scooter.

I thought for sure this was going to be about the auto shift Trek bike from 2007.

I had great success with LimeBike (bike, not scooter) on a conference trip to DC last year. Way better (and faster) than the shuttle buses provided for the conference.

We have Blue Bikes here in New Orleans. Non-motorized. I use them. They are actually pretty awesome.
