Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?

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!

Thingsthat go bicycle speed belong in the bike lane. Things that go faster go in the car lane. Things that go slower belong inthe people lane,

Bundle the squishy things together on a segregated path.

Make the squishy things who invade the 2-ton hard things' designated areas attract a penalty except at marked crossings. Double that penalty when they whinge in that privileged voice.
