[b]Listen, people are not using them as alternatives to cars, that’s a false ideology on a grand scale and a marketing scheme to try to excuse a business from dumping their product on the streets with no license, no regulation, and no upkeep.[/b]

There is a study in Portland showing they are used as alternatives to cars.

[b] No one is commuting on them on the regular.  [/b]

I see people in business clothes on them in DC regularly on weekdays.

[b]Sorry you don’t like the look of parked cars, [/b] Its as valid a concern as not liking the look of scooters.

[b]but cars are docked or else they’re towed.  I can’t park my car in the middle of the sidewalk, bike path, in your yard, on a trash can, in the middle of the street.[/b]

You park your car in one of the zillion parking spaces you are given out of the public right of way.   If we gave scooters designated places to park on the side of the street, as ubiquitous as car parking is, we would not have a scooter parking problem.

[b]Sorry you are trying to explain to handicap people what kind of standard they need to meet for you to have them be justified in their complaints.  Do you ask the same of minorities when they complain about race issues?  You need to check yourself on that.[/b]

If handicapped people (but this is DCUM, I have no idea if you are really handicapped) want to remove a source of mobility for others, they can expect people to argue back.  Just as if I want cars banned because someone I know suffered permanent disability due to one I would expect people to argue back. [/quote]

I know who you are now, you wrote the same thing on Justin Wilson's facebook page (but out of respect for DCUM I won't post your name).  You are one of those uber bike fans, all bikes only your way, or nothing else at all, everyone else is wrong, and you really don't care about handicap people (except blind cyclists on Quaker/Seminary road).  Shame on you, gain some perspective on others, and stop citing the same thing everywhere because you are outted man.[/quote]
