E-scooters: a real asset to the local community?

[Paul Freestone]

Outside the Iffley Rd Co-op today. Perhaps it's an art installation?

I would say they are much less of an issue than a delivery lorry, or pavement parked car, or driver parked in the cycle lane with their hazards on, etc…..

9 scooter riders potentially parked correctly and one idiot, who may not be a scooter rider knocked them over.

I am in my mid 50’s and I use the a lot, they are fantastic.

Fallen down:

I don’t know how strong the wind has been in Oxford. In Birmingham my sister lost a couple of mid-sized trees yesterday (or night before).

Yep. The app requires you to take a photo of the scooter when it's parked, so it won't have been the riders that left them like this.
