Good riddance, they've made cities worse and more dangerous. Can't tell you how many times some idiot on a Bird scooter going down a sidewalk has almost hit me or my kids. I've also seen several wipeout when going over track tracks.

Unfortunately, I don't think they're gone yet. They just filed for bankruptcy protection. Cities are still littered with their scooters - and no clear plan to clean them up.

We should probably publish COO Steve Schnell's address and send him all the scooters littering the cities. You know ... just as a drunken prank.

I'm so glad Paris banned them, it was a mess and very dangerous.

Bird going out of business will not hurt all the other scooter rental companies.

Personally I love electric scooters and use them frequently; they are a great amplifier for walking & transit.
