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.

Interesting ratings, some of these seem more progress-based than who has the best overall infrastructure. That said, I'm really happy to see cities like Paris and Manhattan on here, who have made big strides to work on being better about micromobility and pedestrian safety. The more large cities deploy protected bike lanes, the more smaller cities and towns will get inspired and follow them.

Especially cities/towns that forbid their DOTs from traveling to transit conferences to hear how cities like Montreal and Vancouver pulled off their rail and bike infrastructure on a lower budget.
