Spotted: Jump scooter and cop
Spotted this morning on the upper Main. Cop gave a siren honk, Jump scooter guy stopped and had a brief conversation with the cop, then toddled away. No ticket handed across for missing helmet.

Fair enough, the e bikes (that’s not a scooter) are new, I think that’s what the cops should do for the first few weeks, stop people and let them know that a helmet is required but we’ll let it go this time.

I took a look at one yesterday, it says right on the bike that a helmet is mandatory. I think everyone should know by now that any motorized 2‑wheeled vehicle requires anyone riding it to wear a helmet.

So far I have seen 7 Jump scooter folks, none of them wearing helmets. I hope they have their organ donor cards signed.

Ian – Maybe we should ask Uber to list right on the bicycle “All renters are automatically organ donors unless you specifically opt out on our website.”

I like how casually you assume motor vehicles are automatically going to kill people.

I think it’s more the known hazard of riding any motorized two-wheeled vehicle without a helmet.

j2 I always wear a helmet when I ride my bike, not necessarily because I’m afraid of cars. There are other cyclists, pedestrians, potholes, slippery asphalt, bees, stray dogs, stray dogs with bees in their mouths…

What Kate said. Riding a scooter, e-bike, bicycle, or moped with no helmet is just stupid… and the faster your 2 wheeler can go the worse your potential for death is. Great for people waiting on an organ donation though.
