Scooter Sharing: dopo BikeSharing e CarSharing, Milan is preparing for the sharing of motorized two-wheelers. Seems like a good idea, but maybe it is not…
The Scooter sharing may soon become a reality Milan. The news appeared today on the website of La Repubblica (Click here to see the article). The junta Pisapia ready to widen in view of EXPO 2015, the possibility of sharing transportation and after bike and car it is now up to the scooter, following the example of other cities such as Barcelona, where it is already operating and Paris where he is coming. It will in all likelihood of electric scooters, but it is said that the invitation is inserted this specific municipal.
If the idea of sharing scooter is challenging in many respects, by the user of the services and roads meneghine but I have several concerns. Considering how they are treated and handled bike service BikeMe (guilt and the management is rude and most of the users) and seeing each day as scooters are guided in the ring, I predict a short-term extension of the orthopedic departments.
Furthermore, as will be solved the problem of the helmet and any extra clothing?
In Barcelona, the helmet is stowed in the compartment of the scooter and then you put on the helmet he wore whomever else, with all due respect to hygiene and correct measurements… Needless to stay here to quibble about the lack of safety that a helmet can ensure the wrong size or how many people still have not learned how to properly allacciarselo. We hypothesize, in addition to, that in a short time become compulsory to wear a back protector – how many years they are trying to offer manufacturers – that you would in that case?
I am of the opinion that the project could be a good opportunity to disclose even a good driver education and civic. Far be it from me the sterile controversy, I would like to be spoken as well as scooter and sharing app with which to book services – surely the figate we exalt and are more pleasant subject of road accidents – also education, sense of civic, good practice to guide. On how to drive in the city there is much to do and learn.
Call the commissioner Pierfrancesco Maran (aiutatemi a convincerlo 😉 @piermaran #RideSharing), definitely one experienced and attentive to every aspect, to come with me for a ride on the ring to 9 in the morning or, better, in time for night out. I'll be happy to show him how to behave on the handlebar his fellow citizens, I think it is useful.
Pierfrancesco, I provide my saddle, share it with me and see how they drive the Milanese! #RideSharing
