I saw a scooter traveling in a bike lane, and it seems like encouraging that combined with more bike lanes could be great. Traveling by car or transit with a bike to go the last few miles in the bay area is common, and I am honked at and cut off and pulled over almost every day on my bike and it could be better, as there is no economical bike path even between big cities on the peninsula just 5-10 miles apart... scooters could be used all along my daily path and bikes would instantly fill the lanes. Maids and landscapers could also switch to utility bikes if we connected wealthy and poor areas.

I mean the european continent (not so much the UK sadly) has shown that if you build a connected thought out cycle network it will get used heavily.

I was out with my stepson for a ride today and the UK is failing poorly on this one.

But there are cities where it's not a good solution due to hills and bad weather.
