The other one that annoys me is the age restriction. We're really trying to mandate that you can't go anywhere without your parents until you're 16. Winnipeg transit is crazy unreliable and growing up I hated having to ask my parents to bring me places. I'm happy to see a speed limit and I hope they enforce helmets, but I honestly get happy seeing kids out and about doing their own things with their friends. My neighborhood has an OK amount of that but only since escooters and micromobility got popular, and I don't want to quash that.

It really annoys me that we're wasting our time legislating tight restrictions on 30lb micromobility devices that have no statistical history of being dangerous outside of the interactions they have with actually dangerous things like the personal automobile.
