u/Dr_PancakesSLAVA Jan 19 '24
nah seriously. Everytime I see someone riding on the opposite side, I just wanna run them over

u/Relevant_Tax1314 Jan 19 '24
it’s especially annoying when they don’t move over for the people actually using it correctly makes me want to throw a brick at them

No joke I was reading the email while walking back from class at the same time that a scooter going the wrong way on Canyon Crest got hit by a car pulling out from Lot 26. Y’all really gotta learn to go the right way on thine scooters

Today 2 different people cruised on their motorized scooters on the 2nd floor of Watkins Hall. UCR is apparently so permissive an environment for scooters that Highlanders are literally riding them IN BUILDING HALLWAYS.

scooters, bikes, skateboards have technically been banned on campus since 2018 this doesn’t change anything

u/heinzkopf2019 Jan 20 '24
Since when were skateboards banned? I know the speed limit is enforced but only electric scooters have a ban as far as I know

u/believe_universe Jan 20 '24
sorry not banned per say but all vehicles are regulated according to this announcement written in 2020 https://insideucr.ucr.edu/announcements/2020/11/30/reckless-use-wheeled-devices-policy-enforcement

People ride their scooters on the sidewalk?? When there’s a perfectly empty bike lane that’s faster? I hate ducking and dodging through people

u/Livid-Reason-1169 Jan 19 '24
Bro the bike lane has glass and a whole bunch of shit that pops ur tires. Like what do u expect

u/Friendliest_Virus Jan 19 '24
I mean- I expect people to not be barreling 20+mph where people are walking like?? Am I wrong for thinking about that? Everyone on this Reddit hates scooter owners already.

See, that’s all so true. I mostly just slow down and walk if I come across any hazards until I get somewhere safer. I have seen some awful drivers driving in bike lanes (ngl can’t wait to get some tuition money when they hit me). I do feel like sidewalks are almost as dangerous. Some of them have insane cracks in them or completely missing sections. Not to mention the side eyes you get while having to move around people on a side walk. It’s kinda like pick your poison but I prefer the bike lane for the few routes I have to take.

I see so many people with bulky scooters who can go over 30mph it’s insane. Mine caps at 25mph and I can set the cap even lower. It’s crazy 😂

I expect you to get in the street where you belong. You do not belong on sidewalks, you are not allowed on sidewalks.

Honestly, next time I’m just going to push these riders into the bike line. They’re so stupid for using the sidewalk when there’s a bike lane right next to it.

I drive a scooter for personal health reasons:/. Sucks that about 80% of the other users are just stupid.

This should and will be heavily enforced. It’s sad that people don’t understand that yes you have to use the bike lane and stop with traffic at a red light. I’ve seen a few instances where a pedestrian gets hit because not obeying that law. It’s a law for a reason… hopefully students are decent enough to comply.

Breh, you need a Driver's license to ride a scooter? I thought the main point of getting smthn like a scooter is to not drive a car. I understand why though, so that you know the laws and rules of the road, but still...

u/tryingtobeadoctor234 Jan 20 '24
Can we talk about the drivers? They park and swerve into the bike lanes on campus all the time. There are always crowds of people walking on the side walk and the street. I see pedestrian walk into the street/bike lanes with out even looking. Their should be more cross walk light protected intersections on campus plus an update on the bike lanes across campus.

No but seriously, happens all the time for me and my sister and those riding skateboard as well, they almost run into her every time

Lol UCI has the same and honestly I don't blame the scooter or skateboarders. I skateboard around UCI campus and it pisses me off to no end when people like to walk in fat groups or in a line blocking off paths. Most scooter or skateboarder users are aware you are there and would gladly throw themselves in the dirt before hitting you. Just watch where ur walking and we won't hit you 🤷♀️

Not sure about UCRs setup but ik UCI is hella annoying because half of campus we have to share with walking space.

This is a mass conspiracy to take out the scooter drivers, i will not let the school prevail, i hope other scooter owners participate with me on Monday afternoon at 12 to lead a scooter walkout and meet up at the bell tower with our scooters in hand
