"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You can, but should you? If you sign this you should be prepared to explain when you will use them. Assume the opposition will check signatures and look for anyone who isn't from there to try to use that to discredit this. You should be prepared to for this to show that you are a supporter for good reason.

In the worst case the opposition might even find someone from elsewhere to sign this just to call this out. Often - but not always - the opposition is more ethical than this. (if you catch them in the act of this that is worse for them)
