The sidewalks are really dangerous where I am, where they are super uneven, have “artistic” curves, and trees that are overhanging really low so like will hit my body.

I go max 15 MPH on my escooter and if I hear a ding ding I jump onto the sidewalk and go a bit slower until you guys pass, since I’m slower and can dismount easier it only makes sense for me to make room. I figure as long as I make room it “shouldn’t” be a problem.

But just wondering if there are any bike riders that are just like shaking their fist at escooter riders.

EDIT: USA!

    For me, bike lanes should have a weight limit (<100lbs / ~50kg or so). It seems like you’re talking about the handlebar scooters as opposed to vespa scooters. Those are fine in my opinion. You’re going fast enough to not cause a traffic jam and you’re smaller than a bike, so you’re not taking up any more space. In my city, the eScooters are usually faster than most bike commuters.
