The main reason I hate going to Austin TX is because of the E-Scooters. They are everywhere, and when you're trying to drive and someone on an E-Scooter is in front of you, it's pretty frustrating. Safety is a big factor of course, but since I don't ride one I just find them annoying.

The study, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the city of Austin's health department, adds to the growing research about e-scooters, which arrived in cities in late 2017 and have spread rapidly ever since. Research so far has found that a majority of riders don't wear helmets, and many of those who are injured face significant injuries.
