Anonymous asked: as a motorcyclist, how do you feel about all those new e-bikeshares and byrd scooters and dockless hoverboards and whatever? do you see a near future where tons of people daily commute gadgets that are essentially cheaper, speed-limited motorbikes that are also taken outside automobile-centric legal and insurance framework that motorbikes live in?
There was a scooter share demo in Portland and the killer app seemed to be barcrawling between locations too far apart to walk so like at 11:30 at night there’d be packs of 20somethings slaloming down the road at full speed racing each other and woooooing all the way and I was like “this seems like a problem for… someone else!”
