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!

    Cars and large goods vehicles are a threat to cyclists due to the speed disparity.

    If you’re worried about getting hit, you’re not bright and flashing enough. I’ve never feared being hit by a car while wearing red and white strobes and a reflective vest.
