Can you go to a bar and leave your bike inside?

I do that all the time with my scooter. (I don't have an electric one, just a normal push scooter).

Portability is a huge advantage that scooters have over bikes. I take my scooter literally everywhere I go, anywhere in San Francisco. It is actually 100% of the time.

And If I don't want to scooter home, I just call an Uber and put it in the back.

That's a good thing. But leaving it locked outside and walking ten meters into the bar works fine.

How far do you commute on that thing? Yesterday I rode 15 km to a lake to meet some friends. When leaving I felt like riding more so I took a 30 km detour to a natures reserve before I began pedaling home. The freedom bicycles give me is why I truly love them so much. No electronic black box with limited range stopping me, just simple mechanics and my legs.

Another great thing is that it can carry the things I need to take with me (usually a lot). Racks and panniers are awesome and takes carrying the load off my body.

And yeah, I get to exercise while having fun.

Yeah, I had a folding bike but it was still really heavy.

Also a folding bike is a much worse riding experience than a full size bike but bike theft is absolutely endemic in my city.

Maybe I should try an e-scooter, some of my colleagues have them.

I can’t find any electric scooter DUI records on a quick skim. I wonder how this will play out?

Same for me but replace “scooter” with “27in longboard”.
