Do you have them in your town?
They've been in Bristol a while and I think they're fantastic. Traffic is awful in most of the city and public transport is crap so they're perfect for getting around distances of 2-3 miles. Google maps is great at giving navigation for them as well and it can take you through great shortcuts and beautiful areas away from the main roads |

Electric bikes are a great innovation as well, they seem to have exploded recently. My Mum has one now and uses it quite a lot having gone years without being able to do much exercise because of knee problems |

Yes, “regular” bicycles as well. One of the reasons it’s so much more dangerous is that pedestrians will (generally) look before stepping out onto a road - but not when, say, stepping out of a garden gate or doorway onto a pavement. So they could literally step out in front of you with no warning. It’s still a metal object travelling at speed and can do plenty of damage, especially to a small child or elderly person (for the elderly any fall can be very serious). |
