Bikes: Too many but never enough.

Just be careful on those things, I've seen too many riders (of push e-scooters) eat pavement on my commute.
I think once you start to get used to the speed on those, you can easily miss judge the obstacles or hazards on the road.
Combined with small diameter wheels, very little suspension, doesn't seem to take much to stop these scooters and flip the rider onto the pavement.
I know the faster (40+ mph) ones have larger/wider tires and decent suspensions, I've seen those get taken onto subways, too.
They seem to be more dangerous than motorcycles to me.
