"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.

So, the bike lane gets made. The sunk cost is already gone.

They throw tacks on the bike lanes because they don't want to share the road.

The bike lanes don't get used, but the space is still gone.

How do tacks help their cause or is this a "I'm mad and I want other people to suffer" situation?

They'll point to "no one uses them" and argue to remove them and convert back to car lanes.
