Reply to comment by HEIMDVLLR in Exploding e-scooter battery sets off massive fire, 'extraordinary damage' in Bronx supermarket by OntheRunfromCIA
^ Thank you! I’m all for micro-mobility stuff and I’m sure a lot more people would be too if the users actually had some courtesy when on the road
The reputation cyclists and e-bikers and other riders have amongst a lot people are “those annoying assholes who go through red lights,” not to say that they’re all bad but that’s the general view of them from my experience
Also this issue of batteries exploding is just insane, how are these bikes and scooters still allowed on the street? Can you imagine the uproar if it was EV batteries or maybe the batteries within hybrid vehicles?

Everyone goes through red lights here. Cars, trucks, pedestrians, cyclists, everyone. For some reason, self righteous internet comments just decide certain road users should be held to a saintly standard.

Guess which ones have a means of being tracked down and ticketed for running said red light? I’m sure you know which one based on a certain link always shared to look up moving and parking violations.

Not pedestrians, for sure.

Do people regularly drive cars on the sidewalk?

Strange how the existence of this article seems to imply that this is an unusual occurrence.

Strange how many such articles one can find for something you claim is so unusual.

Yea, people regularly go on targeted violent rampages with uhaul trucks. That’s totally comparable to unregulated e-bike batteries exploding.
