have to agree in that a scooter wouldn't be accepted at a CM event.<br>
Any logical CMer knows that a scooter is a much better alternative to
<br>
a car, but the far left are going to disagree with anything you do if<br>
it isn't pedal power.<br>
<br>
I believe scooters are a great alternative, but as a cyclist I don't<br>
like them using the bike lanes. I do, however, like scooters far more
<br>
than cars double parked in the bike lane, and I would much rather see<br>
10 scooters roll by than 10 cars.<br>
