What is the enviromental damage?
why are scooters in the lake
I doubt the gps trackers work under water !!
Yeah, seriously.... Are there bodies associated with the scooters? Was there a contest to see who could send a scooter the farthest across the water before it sank?
Weird.
You would think a detail like that would be explained in the story. That’s just strange.
“I doubt the gps trackers work under water !!”
They worked fine up until they went underwater.
Hooligans would be my first guest.
Not so weird if you’ve seen the kind of people who rent those scooters
Lime bikes and scooters (and their ilk) are not popular with some people. I’ve heard people talk about tossing them in the river in Portland because they’re cluttering up the sidewalks.
I feel the same way, but I’m not a vandal. We see those things parked randomly all over the place, including right in my own neighborhood. It doesn’t help that they’re ugly, so it comes off as a form of littering.
The local Lime office is about 1/2 mile away from my workplace. I’m tempted to stick my head in the door and tell them how much I don’t love them and then leave.
Are scooters all there are, or just what they could pull out?
They were probably rental scooters that one sees in liberal cities on every street corner, especially college towns.
What is the enviromental damage?
They have batteries in them...usually lithium.
The utopia of Austin. How quaint. I wouldn’t live anywhere near that pile of crap.
“I ride my GS Scooter with my hair cut neat.”
It’s homeless jerks, I’ve seen it happen here in Portland. Was out on my boat and saw one thrown into the river and the bum run off. Seems stupid to me, he could have buzzed around all day on it for free.
I wonder how much “Yard Trimmings” they’ll find in the lake.
“Why are there scooters in the lake?”
LBJ invited the Kennedy family for a cookout.
This always blue city on a steeper descent now has these "free" scooters available, and the only people I have seen on them are "youths" of a certain "youthfulness." About a third of those sightings involve two of said y/y's on one scooter, in high glee while apparently seeing how much punishment the scooter can take.
When I asked an LEO I have a nodding acquaintance with about the lifespan of said scooters, he smiled and shook his head. "Now, you know we aren't supposed to talk about things like that in this town."
When I see people zipping down the street on those scooters I always wonder if they know what would happen if that small front wheel hit a pothole. They would be pranged to the Moon.
Ironic b/c Lady Bird Johnson’s big campaign was to stop littering.
“Please, Please, Don’t Be a Litterbug...”
No, I'm sure it was ruffians.
