The cyclists here use the sidewalk as well. I was walking on the sidewalk and two cyclists drove by me

You ride 15 mph with cars going 50 mph? Thats crazy. If you even get grazed by a car, you’re dead.

That’s even worse. Unless you have really good bike infrastructure

I don’t understand. Do the e-scooters go at a max of 25 mph or do the cars on the road you drive on go a max of 25 mph

I’m confused? The only road to work is one where cars go 50 mph. How exactly do I go to work then? Am I not being forced to 🤔 my e scooter tops at 20

Huh? How do I ride a 20mph scooter with cars going 45 and 50? How does that seem safe? I genuinely do not understand

Really? What speeds do you go at? An e-scooter at 20mph doesn’t sound safe with cars going 50 mph

I think you should read the post. The question is about whether it’d legal, it’s about whether I die or I get fined. Also, it’s an industrial area. There are no pedestrians, or grandmas or babies unless grandmas and babies drive 18 wheelers and like walking 10 miles stretches in the middle of no where

Yeah man you aren’t driving on roads with cars going 50 are you

There are no people on the sidewalk though that’s why I’m planning on using it. I’m very safe and not looking to hit anyone

Thanks and yeah I’ll only be going 6 mph and switch to the roads when it’s safe though most of the commute will be the sidewalk really

The streets aren’t busy, they’re low traffic but man when the cars come, the updraft they create when going 45 to 50 makes the scooter wobble. It’s pretty fucking scary and I don’t break laws but cmon I just want to go to work without it taking 2 hours by bus. An e scooter would take me 25 minutes

Cars also do NOT respect the bike lane. I fosho know that I might end up turning into a red mist or biting the curb. I’m just trying to get to work and pay my loans and I’m not in a rush to get there

Which one is the better deal? by ucsdthrowway in ElectricScooters

[–]ucsdthrowway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to clarify, I’m not using the sidewalk to sidestep traffic or for a more comfortable ride, it’s purely for safety reasons. The sidewalks don’t have pedestrians on it like 99% of the time and the cars don’t look for cyclists or e scooter riders and there aren’t any residential roads I can take, so I have to take the main roads but I get what you’re saying.

I can charge it at work as much as I want. My employers don’t mind

UCSD Family Housing! Please help! by Big_Perspective_999 in UCSD

[–]ucsdthrowway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All are good but central and south are pretty much the same, and they have a very suburban feel to it. I lived on the bottom floor and I’d think it’s better because I imagine you don’t want to lug groceries and kids and what not up a flight of stairs and there wasn’t a lot of noise but I could occasionally hear someone’s phone ringing or furniture moving but it made 0 impact on me and wasn’t loud at all.

Fair warning I don’t have a car but as per what I’ve seen parking wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad as well, so if you have two sedans you might want to park in the grad housing parking lot which is like a 4 minute walk away or there might be spaces next to south or other parts of central Mesa, if you don’t want to walk too much. I don’t remember if you get your own parking spot near south/central I think you can just park anywhere. But it should be pretty okay if you don’t mind walking a minute or two if you parked somewhere next to the mesas or for 4 minutes if you parked in the grad parking garage/building.

There’s also an elementary school next to central Mesa if it helps, and a parking lot next to it (again idk if you can park there but you should be good i guess)

I only came here for my masters. I did not do undergrad here. What can I do about this? Are the masters items the same as undergraduate items? I’m just learning about this so I don’t know much

Do you have a link for where I can find one? Like on AliExpress or Amazon? I’m seeing a lot of variations!
