Kensington and Chelsea seizes 2,500 e-bikes in parking crackdown

The council has charged operators more than £210,000 in seizure, storage and release fees.

This is crazy. Both riders were wearing helmets. I think it's time to force speed limiters on the scooters or you go to jail.

“Cities learned a hard lesson with shared #scooters and #bikes: get permitting, data sharing, and curb rules in place before the inventory shows up”
“A #robotaxi sitting in a metered space all morning is functionally no different from a private car doing the same thing”
“The same #infrastructure that prices legal use should detect and cite illegal use — double #parking, blocking a #bikelane, overstaying a loading zone, #parking in a no-stopping zone”

Opinion: We Must Price and Manage The Curb Before Robo-Taxis and Other AVs Scale Up — Streetsblog USA

The gap between what's on the street and what cities can actually see, price, or enforce is the defining curb management problem of the next decade. And no one is treating it with any urgency.

I was browsing some Apple Photos memories and came upon this mural. It’s very cool how the shadow is making the mural appear in much higher contrast as opposed to the sunny top half. Tbilisi, Georgia 2022
