1. Oh, Japan. Maybe you’ll allow electric unicycles in 2050 😔

2. I hate these things

3. Good news. This will either take people off trains or off cars, making both more bearable for the rest.

4. >including not riding on sidewalks

   Huh, I didn’t even know this was a thing in Japan since everyone seems to ride on the sidewalk (at least where I live). I really hate having the share the sidewalk with cyclists because too many of them don’t care for the safety of pedestrians.

5. yasss!

6. “and riders must comply with the same traffic rules as bicycles, including not riding on sidewalks.”

   April fool’s

7. A salesman from one of these scooter companies was going door to door and trying to get my neighbors and I to lease parts of our land to them so they could put an installation there.

   Fuck that.

8. and probably a zero-alcohol tolerance still so not very useful haha
