micromobility - Bikes, scooters, boards: Whatever floats your goat, this is micromobility
Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"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.

Unless someone is flat out sprinting, those speeds on a regular bike would not be easy achieve by a regular person in a crowded park.
That said, this is going to be a case of "a few will spoil it for the many".
Without electric options, the city would be hurting accessibility, so that would be bad.
Sigh. I don't know. Fine people being dangerous? Publicly shame them for riding like an asshole? I would try anything before removing micromobility from a public space.
I think this is another problem where having an absolutely shitty police institution takes options off the table.
Like we could try to have speed limits and enforce it, but I'm very confident the NYPD would just use it to bother black people.
Anyway. A speed limit is probably better than a total ban imo, even if enforcement is going to be a problem. Just posting the limit will make some people behave.
