People were driving them very fast on sidewalks and narrowly missing people and children, many refused to wear helmets and there were a lot of accidents. But I'm sure there were also many good stories about them, too. <br />Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-72727166927735027082019-01-23T12:53:09.450-08:002019-01-23T12:53:09.450-08:00I live near the DC agree and there are bikes lined...I live near the DC agree and there are bikes lined up in bike stands, but I don't think they are electric.

We have something similar here in Spokane that just began in November. I haven’t heard how it’s working out yet. The ones here are a bright, lime green and we have both scooters and bicycles. I think it’s a wonderful idea. I don’t know if you can leave the ones here just anywhere, or if you have to return them where you got them. It would be interesting to see if others have them where they liveBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-88932185925492460532019-01-23T09:02:09.607-08:002019-01-23T09:02:09.607-08:00Not seen here, but then I am not even on a bus rou...Not seen here, but then I am not even on a bus route!

Here in Chicago, if you didn't do that, they would probably all end up in the lake or something ridiculous. I like that you have the opportunity to find a bike somewhere and grab it. That would be really convenient.
