    Every 6 months or so I’m like “what if I had a cute scooter to drive around places”, and then I remember that driving any kind of motorcycle is a very quick way to get killed, even more so now that I have to share the road with the malfunctioning robots.

          hehe… Strap some car break lights on the back that you can control with a hand switch instead of needing to actually break to activate them. (Assuming that the Tesla doesn’t mistake you for an Emergency Vehicle and speed up towards you.)

    • for real. little scooters and e-bikes are perfect for so much urban travel. basket for groceries, helmet that says, “I am The Christ” or whatever is cool these days.

      literally all that stops me is getting murdered by all the crazy driving boxes and cagers.

      almost got T-boned 2 days ago by some guy blowing a red light. if there had been any peds, they would be done-zo and if I was on something two wheeled, I would probably have a broken limb from having to ditch.
