The sidewalks are really dangerous where I am, where they are super uneven, have “artistic” curves, and trees that are overhanging really low so like will hit my body.

I go max 15 MPH on my escooter and if I hear a ding ding I jump onto the sidewalk and go a bit slower until you guys pass, since I’m slower and can dismount easier it only makes sense for me to make room. I figure as long as I make room it “shouldn’t” be a problem.

But just wondering if there are any bike riders that are just like shaking their fist at escooter riders.

EDIT: USA!

    It matters less where you’re riding and more which set of rules you are following. If you’re on a sidewalk, or opposing traffic, you need to behave as a pedestrian. If you’re riding with traffic, you need to behave as a vehicle.

    There is one rule underlying all traffic rules: Be Predictable. Even if you’re following all the applicable laws and regulations, if people can’t figure out what you’re trying to do, you are wrong.

    To that effect, if you hang a red light on your ass and a white light up front, everyone will expect you to operate like a vehicle.
