I've seen a lot more people traveling via scooters out on the street. At least here in Queens. Some are all decked out too while zipping along on those things. And people of all ages. Well, better get used to them. Seems like they're here to stay.
Unmasked and unafraid, New Yorkers used to jump onto crowded subway trains every day. Our commutes were hectic but dependable (for the most part.) Rushing to the train and being sandwiched between strangers was all part of the NYC experience.
Now, after living through six months of a pandemic and the resulting shutdown, that part of our city lives is drastically different. Most of us haven't taken the subway since March and many of us have taken to bicycles, scooters and cars to get around. These alternatives, especially the electric ones, are likely to last, according to transportation experts.
Im seeing this also, along with electric powered bikes and even a powered unicycle of sorts. Regular bike sales went up a lot during the pandemic too. So you have new bikers and people who were into it years ago who picked it up again.
Now look up statistics of accidents involving these things.
Does it out number the number of accidents involving motor vehicles?
