Ugh. Build dedicated lanes, then, Atlanta. A scooter-pedestrian collision isn't pleasant, but it has a far, far better outcome for the pedestrian than a car-scooter collision does for the scooter.

I speak as someone who bikes and walks, and is as annoyed as everyone else by scooters -- they still have a right to personal safety.

They do not have a personal right to be on the sidewalk or threaten pedestrians.

We have bike lines in Chicago, but yet they still act like entitled assholes.

That pronouncement (in the article) seems a little harsh on people in wheelchairs...
