Mary,

<div class="">No. The scooters the NFB has issues with are the two wheeled kind people often leave helter-skelter downtown. The scooters are often owned by Lime, Lyft or some other micro mobility company. The same scooters you may have a difficult time moving
out of your way since you are using a mobility scooter. Your scooter is a mobility device and very valuable to your independence. I am grateful knowing you are able to shop, and can live the life you want to live with your scooter!!!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You should have every right to use the bike lanes!!!! I do see wheelchairs in them. Please let us know if you do encounter additional problems using the bike lanes. You are welcome to contact me personally at
<a href="mailto:garyvdrn@msn.com" class="">garyvdrn@msn.com</a>. Your problems encountered using our bike lanes can easily be shared with our partners at the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition.</div>

<div class="">Gary are you referring to scooters that young people hop on and ride all over town on? I have an electric scooter that I use to get around. My disabilities have rendered my body in trouble. I cant use a regular wheelchair bc my left side has
nerve damage. If I push with just my right arm I would do cork screws!!!!!<br class="">
<br class="">
Im usually a good driver although very so often I do have adventures.<br class="">
<br class="">
Right before this pandemic I went to a Goodwill store. They had rearranged furniture and products so I was a bit lost. I was in the book section and turned the corner right into a guy who was working at the store.<br class="">
<br class="">
My leg got hurt and I hurt his foot. I was apologizing right away; so was he. He apologized and explained he was blind. "So am I" I commiserated. <br class="">
<br class="">
I was so emotionally off-kilter that we both walked off. If I had my wits about me I would have invited him to lunch.<br class="">
<br class="">
The other incident happened last week. My eyes weren't great and I didn't see a wall. I ran right into the corner with my left knee. I wasn't going fast but it was quite painful. At first I was afraid that I broke my kneecap. <br class="">
<br class="">
My knee is swollen and very purple. I live alone so no one gets to enjoy my groans and discolored leg.<br class="">
<br class="">
So that's my scooter. Downtown I do use that bike lane sometimes. (The city isnt very careful with the cones and signs and I can't go on the sidewalks sometimes.)<br class="">
<br class="">
I do get into arguments with bikes and pedicabs about who owns the roads. I offer to go toe to toe with them and they go away.<br class="">
<br class="">
The kids on the scooters and skateboards don't give me trouble.<br class="">
<br class="">
Mary<br class="">
