micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I am curious as to what "around here means" I notice some countries I travel to helmets for even motorcycles is almost sacrilege.
And I am not saying that EVERYONE ALWAYS... certainly not.
But the $300 Ebike from Costco 9 times out of 10 that little fucker has his helmet on the handlebars IF he has one.
Big BMX... HA forget it
(no BMX here really... we lack skate parks)
Scooters "How fast can a scooter REALLY go man?"
Roadies (old guys like me... but always helmeted... and them shorts <3... I mean)
Surrons (or eletric dirtbikes / dirtbkes) almost always have helmets that fit the bikes ON.
We had a group of kids a few years back that would blast around on quads and GoKarts with no helmets. Saw them picking themselves up off the concrete a few times though.
I am in a US Suburban Area Upper middle class.
Around here is suburban Phoenix, AZ. Nice area, pretty conservative.
I will say, when I'm out biking outside the neighborhood, I see a higher percentage of surron type riders wearing helmets than most other groups. Roadies, MTBers almost always do too. The guy biking to work, or the old people on the canal path on their dtc e-bikes, and the kids at the local schools, never.
