Another problem with those e-scooters is that while riding them, you look absolutely ridiculous as you glide along, bolt upright with motionless legs like some kind of alien. At least with a bicycle you're leant over and look like you're doing something, even if a few of the cyclists can be just as much of a nuisance as the scooter riders - the guys on the right of this shot will show you what I mean.
Alternatively, hop on a bus which has the added benefit of windows, a roof and (usually) a sit down, while being piloted by someone who actually knows how roads work. The bloke I've managed to get perfectly silhouetted in the window has done just that as he looks out at the two men preferring the open-air methods of transportation. Bikes are actually pretty decent, and I can thank mine for taking me to get to most of the various locations I've been spotting recently. Around town, however, I'd definitely rather take the bus or simply walk than look like a clown riding a scooter of yellow peril down the street.
