"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.

Yeah, I'm with you. A fully paved "trail" that's virtually flat and wide enough to accommodate multiple pedestrians? Fine with me, provided they're not whipping by without giving people proper berth.

A walking path in a park that allows bikes? Maybe. Use your best judgement. Don't be an asshole and put people in danger or make them feel unsafe in an environment that's supposed to be relaxing.

On off-road trail built for mountain bikes? No. That's just asking for an accident to happen, either from a crash or from over-stressing/tearing up the trail.
