No not redheads but the rental escooters? they've all vanished and their website has Stafford on the map but not in the detail section.

My understanding was the trial had ended and the council decided not to carry on backing it as people were being anti social with them.

Thought they were pretty good tbh, didn't use one though.

I did see two school kids on one. Must be 6th formers. They were going across the grass in a playground area and then straight down an alley, if someone had been walking down it there would have been a bit of an accident to say the least.

It did seem like they were jumping the gun. I can see such things being useful if people bought their own and had to be insured, registered etc. But e-bikes seem better for rental.

It was just a year long trial, electric bikes were to be next.

Much of Staffords traffic problem is due to terrible traffic lights. I went to Tesco earlier from Hillcroft Park area, just as one set of lights went green and I started moving the next set went red.

So the experiment is over.

And what have we learnt?

Lesson 1 - you are all a bunch of bastards.

Lesson 2 - because of all of the bunches of bastards we can't have nice things.

Who could have predicted that?

Cool story bro.

Maybe some of the traffic problems of Stafford have at least something to do with the fact that a thread that was started by the OP ( hey, that's you!) about an alternative mode of transport, turned immediately into a familiar drone about cars .

Cars are like guns, they kill people.
