Pedestriansfirst“Bus or Lime bike? New subscription heats up the race for a cheaper commute. New pricing means it might be cheaper to e-cycle or e-scooter than get the bus.” Disastrous news for pedestrians. Why can’t people just walk? Oh it makes no money for the already rich. #Walking #EScooters #Capitalism
MJ Ray@pedestrians1st more people on lightweight transport instead of killer headway-chasing buses seems like it should be a win for pedestrians. It really disappoints me when walkers fight e-bikes and ignore the bigger danger

Unfortunately the default in the UK seems to becoming that cycling and escooters are acceptable on pavements rather than in the road.
Equally, pavement parking by motorists has become normalised.
It's only when you experience disability that you realise that British pavements have become an unnecessarily contested space.
Can we all agree to abide by the sensible rules in the Highway Code?

and parents with prams. Local authorities now have the power and must levy fines for parking on pavements.
