Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

yeah fuck scooters, they are no solution and put pedestrians in constant danger.

Only if they're forced on sidewalks.
Build some actual, good, wide bike paths, then they can be shared with scooters.

even on if they are bike lanes they use drive on sidewalk constantly.

If there are safe cycle paths, people will use them. Of course there are always idiots, but scooters are absolutely the only type of vehicle that people use irresponsibly, amirite?

Eh, I’ve been living in Munich for a few months now, there are rentable e-scooters here and I’ve not had one issue with them as a pedestrian. Although Munich has a lot of bike paths and biking is a very common mode of transport…

Last time I was in Munich I almost got hit by those 3 times.

Maybe stay off the bike paths?
