    Ok. Be on foot. How far away from home or public transport you going? You faster running than a cop or someone else you pissed off? How far are you getting on foot?

    Also, bikes are bigger, easier to identify, accelerate slower, and speaking as someone who road bikes, getting to 30mph is a hell of a lot of work on a flat ground. Let alone a hill.

      So you are contending an epidemic of scooter crime justifies this ban to a degree? I am contending these laws are in bad faith with flawed logic and their stated reasons are ad hoc, as they can’t be honest about their real reasons because they would look like assholes, which they are.
