The sidewalks are really dangerous where I am, where they are super uneven, have “artistic” curves, and trees that are overhanging really low so like will hit my body.

I go max 15 MPH on my escooter and if I hear a ding ding I jump onto the sidewalk and go a bit slower until you guys pass, since I’m slower and can dismount easier it only makes sense for me to make room. I figure as long as I make room it “shouldn’t” be a problem.

But just wondering if there are any bike riders that are just like shaking their fist at escooter riders.

EDIT: USA!

    Someone on a different thread explained to me that runners do this for visibility. Its still annoying though to be riding down a bike lane at 20-30 mph and all of a sudden someone is jogging the other direction. I have to remind myself that pedestrians are vulnerable road users and its actually the cars I should be ticked at, not the joggers who are just trying to avoid getting smooshed.
