[*BCM*] Electro Bike....Re: Battered Biker Syndrome

[thom3 at aol.com]

 My understanding is that scooters et al  may a) park on the street or b) on the sidewalk as long as they don't impede pedestrian and handicap access. (this varies from town to town). The reasons vespas and scooters are not allowed to chain up at bike racks is because one scooter takes up a space that could accommodate 2 or more bikes and bikes really can't do a or b without a designated post.

the idea I like the best is sort of what they did at the Otherside, take away car parking. It would work for scooters and vespas as well, you'd just have to segregate the two. Racks in the spot for bikes, street painted lines for scooters (and motorcycles?). For one car you could probably get at least dozen bikes and about 5 plus scooters (et al).

The obvious solution is more vespa and motorcycle type parking.

 I would report the bike rack use to the appropriate agencies in the relative city. The really great rack bay across from Charlie's in Harvard SQ is constantly occupied by scooters and motorcycles. We need more facilities like this especially as meters in that area are going away (you buy a ticket at a kiosk dispenser and leave it in your window now).
