Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles, heelies, or an office chair: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Honestly, makes a ton of sense for the county. The more cars you take off the road, the less taxpayer money you have to waste on doing yearly road repairs. Bikes have a microscopic amount of road wear compared to cars and trucks.
the only damaged bike lane in my town is the one that people drive on idiotically. its the dedicated turn lane to the highway onramp and a bike lane runs along it and continues on the overpass. people treat the bike lane and car turn lane combined as two car lanes only to compound merge on to the highway 80 meters later.
