Chicago e-scooter riders are breaking the law by riding on sidewalks. The city has also gotten hundreds of complaints about scooter litter. FULL STORY: bit.ly/3fvK1uo
THERE ARE NO BETTER OPTIONS. E-scooters are necessary due to lack of city investment in mass transit, AND addiction to cars AND foreign oil. E-scooters are here to STAY, and we need to build special micro-mobility lanes!!!!
But they need to stay away from Sidewalks!!! I am so tired of seeing these menaces on the Sidewalks with no regard for one's safety!!! Those humans will most likely get locked up for reckless scooter driving!!!
I wish that they would put the bike Lanes on the inner side near the sidewalk and push the cars out more. And I only say this because I have a few phobia of getting hit by a car myself.
This is so easy it's ridiculous. If the app detects you riding on the sidewalk...$100 fine to your profile, second offense...$500.00 No way that won't stop it.
These videos show the drivers calmly going around people with plenty of space lol. The drivers on the street are crazy, you hold up traffic, and most streets done have bike lanes.
🤦♂️That dog dog owner. Whatever he said, any non-dog owner can say that about dogs. I guess we need a dog lane now. And that senior citizen son: chance are his mom will need a scooter soon. They need their lane too I guess? I failed to see any bad behavior here worth attention. This is so stupid. How did they manage bikes in the years past? Easily that's how! Common sense is going extinct. So sad for our kids. Bubble wrap everything & every body.
Many scooters won't use bike lanes, and many won't use the streets even when there are no cars. Show courtesy for pedestrian safety. No excuse. What's up ?
Try riding a scooter in a bike lane where people are illegally parked all the time, having to swerve into the road and around the cars in the bike lane. It's a terrifying experience, and it feels like having to walk in the middle of the road. They want scooters off sidewalks, make it safe to do so.
Weird i didnt see myself in the video, i be all over downtown tearing that shizz up lol lyft and divy cant touch me i now own 3 scooters much faster and sharper around the edges. Stay safe out there lol
Have you seen how people drive on the streets up there I don’t blame them riding on sidewalks
They aren’t much better tbh
Sidewalks are exceptionally dangerous for E-Scooters; without warning somebody could get seriously injured or get killed.
City needs safe bike lanes because ain’t no one wanting use a scooter on a street. Already scary to use a bike on a street!
The world is changing, city planners need to start planning on future travel needs (scooters, ebikes, ect...) and adapt to it
nah, government will straight up ban them
THERE ARE NO BETTER OPTIONS. E-scooters are necessary due to lack of city investment in mass transit, AND addiction to cars AND foreign oil. E-scooters are here to STAY, and we need to build special micro-mobility lanes!!!!
that's exactly why they want to ban it so that people keep driving they're mad and by that i mean the BIG MEDIA AND USA Government
But they need to stay away from Sidewalks!!! I am so tired of seeing these menaces on the Sidewalks with no regard for one's safety!!! Those humans will most likely get locked up for reckless scooter driving!!!
Wow it's a people out that got nothing else better to do then to be out here snitching instead of minding their business & calling the news etc
Pedestrian safety is important & everyone's business.
This is the biggest safety concern Chicago has right now
hahahahaha

3rd and all subsequent offenses $1,000 fine minimum... this is the new normal and we are sick of it!!!
Ohhhh man..I live in Lakeview.. I am definitely worried for my life now.Not leaving my house.
😂
If they're allowed to ride on sidewalks then I should be able to drive my car on a sidewalk too
Why is this news!
A cop probably pulled them over and told them to ride on the sidewalk before…
stand in front of them if they hit you just start punching

Chicago is doing better but it’s not enough. Need more protected bike/scooter/board lanes.
Even that won't be enough; too many inconsiderate morons driving scooters on sidewalks endangering the safety of Pedestrians.
Need scooter police
America?
WERE I LIVE PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE DRIVERS. ACCIDENTS MULTIPLE TIMES ADAY. I. SCARED TO EVEN RIDE IN STREET.

See a scooter parked in your way? Toss them off Navy Pier or Oak Street Beach.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, if they don't charge you to bring a scooter into Oak Street beach. Soon the city will charge you for walking on the sidewalk.
OMG get off the sidewalk!
Scooters need to be BANNED from all sidewalks; or else they will get BUSTED
Lyft take all your technology out of here !!!!
