    I’m on board with all these regulations except the mandatory insurance; active mobility (walking, bicycling, kick scooters, skateboarding, etc) should not require insurance.

      Idk, it’s for if you hit someone. They go pretty fast and can easily do a lot of damage to a pedestrian

        Private liability insurance is anyway something everyone should have, just make those cover bike accidents and that’s it
