Everything around them is built for cars. When that’s the case, and you have no car (are underage to drive) you essentially have no freedom because you can’t go anywhere or do anything. Bikes are great, they are also exhausting and impractical to cover the distances that cars can. An e-scooter can get you there faster than a bike and without being exhausted. I think it gives these kids a taste of freedom and independence that they crave.
kids never even pretending to wear helmets on these things
someone i know was going for a walk and chanced upon a mangled child waiting for EMS to show up
Do they at least give these people and their kids some sort of traffic rules class or something?
I don’t know what the answer here is, it seems like a job for Public Health.
Give away free bicycles? What was wrong with bicycles?
