19 / Bird scooter bankruptcy & misguided micromobility hate.
from good traffic. · host Brad Biehl
There's been a mixed and varying reaction to scooters in our cities (even amongst urbanists). With Bird's recent bankruptcy — following a whirlwind few years — it's an interesting time to take stock of our cultural opinion of micromobility as a whole. Did the unregulated, wild-west-esque attempt at democratizing micromobility actually set us back in gaining public support for new ways of moving around the American downtown? A side note: we just moved — we're now live from Culdesac Tempe. Connecting with me, Brad: On Instagram. On TikTok. On LinkedIn.
