[I will let the words of this... moron, speak for themselves. I will just highlight the more... ludicrous parts.]

| You know, it's like one day everything was fine, and the next there were these fuckin' scooters everywhere. |
There has been much talk about errant users of personal mobility devices (PMDs).
While regulations are in place to minimise inconsiderate behaviour, many pedestrians still feel that their sense of space and security is infringed upon when such vehicles pass too close or too fast.
It is too simplistic, however, to only blame users. Talk to PMD or electric-bicycle riders, or cyclists, and they will likely say they are frustrated that they have nowhere to ride freely.
The limited space on footpaths and the pace of pedestrians frustrate them.
PMDs are banned from roads, and most casual cyclists also restrict themselves to pedestrian paths, as those riding on roads must wear helmets.
It is clear there is rising demand by people here for such devices.
