"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Cuts both ways tho- i don't always stop at every single red light
Maybe could put a record start stop button on the handle bars 😅
Probably worth the trade-off.
Somebody needs to make (Or I need to do a better job searching for) a small camera that does forwards and backwards and uses a GoPro mount so I can stick it on top of my helmet. A regular GoPro is way too big/heavy and not bidirectional.
One of the 360 cameras? I just hate having another device to charge daily.
You could get an Insta360 but I heard the battery life is kinda not great unless you drop the resolution. You could also network Ghost Drift cameras.
I ride with a Ghost Drift XL because it's a robust, affordable solution but it does not do 360.
The GoPro Max is a 360 GoPro. I ride with one on my helmet
Yeah, by the time we could come up with such infrastructure in anything resembling a pervasive manner, the money would've been FAR better spent addressing the source of the problem directly - and doing so would have a MUCH wider positive effect on society's woes as a whole.
Too bad that's unlikely to happen with the current world-wide trend of lurching to the short-sighted right-wing end of politics.
