Now to see if it actually gets enforced properly:

“The city [of Denver] is home to roughly 4,000 scooters and e-bikes operated by the companies Bird and Lime. The new law is an effort to keep riders off the city’s sidewalks and to ensure that they don’t abandon the vehicles in annoying places when they’re done.

The bill passed unanimously.”

"Scooters Don't Kill People" is episode 15 of Are You Into Bus Stuff?

THE ONLY comedy podcast about traffic deaths

Trust me, it's tasteful

1/5 Just submitted this talk to a scooter conference in montreal

“Scooters Don’t Kill People” - Traffic deaths, language, and the media's obsession with “dangerous scooters”

Friday 8 March 1963

A woman can now know if she is pregnant two hours after taking a new test. This while-you-wait test costs £2 2s at the Family Centre run by the London Foundation for Marriage Education.

After twelve hours, the Duchess of Argyll completed her evidence in the divorce action brought by the Duke. The Duchess is accused of multiple acts of adultery. The hearing continues today.

“What can Denver do to make rentable e-scooters and e-bikes safer for riders, pedestrians and everyone else?

That’s the question Denver City Council members will take up Monday when Councilmember Chris Hinds presents his vision for a new set of scooter rules.”

It's really annoying that the word "scooter" can mean any of these things. I wish we'd start disambiguating them verbally. I wish I could use different words for each of them when writing, so my readers wouldn't be confused what type of vehicle one of my characters is riding.

Specifically, he's riding type 3 (the angular brown one), and I really don't want people thinking it's type 1 (the black, stick-like thing that says "Ducati" on the front).
