#### those scooters, I hope Calgary similarly outlaws them. Too many of the users are careless turds.

I love the scooters and Byrd was definitely my go to as the Neuron scooters were not as good. But I had a bad experience one night when I was drunk. It was certainly a bad decision on my behalf and I somehow lost control when I hit a pretty big bump going back onto a sidewalk as I crossed a street. I visually was not noticeably busted up but I apparently tried to break my fall with my hand and I hurt two finger tendons and it took almost a year to recover to a reasonable level and even after almost two years I'm still not 100% and can't make a tight fist on that injured hand.
