    Ya I love all these things personally. Quick to get around, and so fun!

    But yes, what you said has been my experience but I’m generally in the middle of nowhere. When I go by people I say hello and move very slowly and leave a good amount if room.

    I was walking to a commercial building a couple months ago and WOOSH! this kid on an e-scooter going down hill, from behind, top speed, passes within a foot of me. It was a huge walking path with nobody else on it. What if I reached in my pocket and he clipped my elbow? Or I turned suddenly? Kids just don’t have road sense for motorized vehicles in public.
