Every year in Metro Vancouver, car crashes kill 100 people. We can get to zero by demanding that governments design transportation systems to put safety first. http://linkin.bio/visionzeroyvr

Make sure you ride your speed-regulated scooter on the road with all of the [we're too chickenshit to regulate] giant pick-up trucks and SUVs. Also, we needed to make ICBC rates cheaper so fuck you if somebody hits you. We're the BC NDP. You're welcome.
E-Scooters are not toys, and there are rules and regulations regarding their use in North Vancouver. All parents and riders should refer to this helpful infographic from North Vancouver RCMP and help keep our kids and streets safe.

With respect, if cities want scooter riders to ride in designated cycle lanes, they need to build them everywhere. Shaming users for choosing the option that keeps them safer, when the alternative is sharing unsafe streets with speeding multi-ton vehicles, is unhelpful at best & harmful at worst.

Three points about E-scooters (& siblings):
🛴🛴🛴
E-mobility devices are here and are not going away;
E-mobility devices can improve urban mobility, affordability, & livability;
E-mobility devices are a novel safety challenge in our traditional transportation realm.
What do we do about this? 🧵

Yup, I am in violent agreement with you. Protective equipment and bright lights just to stay alive when cycling or walking is just gaslighting peds and cyclists rather addressing lazy engineering designs.

I still have flashbacks when cycling in certain conditions of a bike crash when a bus side clipped me 18 years ago. The nervous system never forgets those moments of survival #VisionZero @visionzerovancouver.ca
Even though it’s been quite a while since the last time (thankfully), every so often, something triggers a reminder of 1 of the 4 times I’ve been hit by a driver while biking or walking and the feeling never really goes away, you know?
