PSA: e-Bikes and e-Scooters belong on the road

There is certainly a proliferation of young people using e-scooters and e-bikes on sidewalks. Which would be cute, if they weren't going full speed in between pedestrians.

The other day in a single 45 min walk: a teenage boy doing loops around Ansley Grove; two teenage girls riding a single scooter. One guy going loops around Valeria and Langstaff on what seemed to be a small ICE motorcyle, blazing through the stop signs.

This article is a reminder for parents here that if you allow your kids to do this, not only can they hurt others but potentially can suffer death or life-threatening consequences themselves.

For now, I will keep yelling at the people I see on the sidewalks to get on the road, until someone tells me to frigg off I suppose.
