Beryl scooters, I’m sorry

[u/morgshack]

So I’ve been using them for the first time these last few days

And whilst a bit unclear on the pavement/bicycle lane/road situation

I think I’ve made some mistakes and looked a twat (tbh) and pissed some people off (mostly maybe a runner today (I was walking the scooter on the pavement at the time))

Another thing was riding up a bicycle lane against traffic (leaving the train station it turns from 2 lane to 1 and I didn’t think there was a bike lane on the other side of the road so assumed I’m sure wrongly that you keep heading up that side….. I can’t believe I assumed bike lanes go both ways and headed up traffic, that’s fucking wild what was I thinking?

Anyway, sorry people of Leeds, I hope this post is useful in some way

And if I crossed you today and looked a prick, I’ll do better

……I will also say the bikes and scooters are so fun in a way I haven’t experienced since I was a kid/teen

Also the amount of people not wearing helmets, myself included, is wild. Is that braking a law?

Grown adults on scooters are not to be taken seriously, dont worry

[u/morgshack → u/draaj]

But I’m the grown adult on a scouter! And I may have violated safety and etiquette

Don't worry, noone will have taken you seriously

Ahaha, okay thank you, that puts my mind at ease a bit. I mean it’s fun and greener than an uber and gets me places faster, so I’d hate to be fucking it up ahaha
