Long pants, long-sleeve under armour cold gear (sleeves long enough to pull over my hands, which I do occasionally). I've been fine in this down to 29, haven't been out on any days colder than that.

I run between 6 and 7:15 in the morning and I would say earlier is probably safer, there are just a lot fewer cars out at 6 and my guess is that outweighs visibility, etc.

That’s cool and all, but I care much more about people riding the scooters like assholes than where they leave them.

Some dickhead riding the scooter 15mph down the sidewalk and hitting me, or running over my dog lying next to me while I eat at a restaurant (then threatening to kill me and the dog) is more upsetting than a stationary scooter.

Or the ones that think red lights/stop signs don’t apply to them. Or they constantly weave between traffic, going from street to sidewalk, etc.

I absolutely love the things conceptually, and they’ve been well executed other places, but they’re a total shitshow here and I’m honestly shocked I haven’t read about anyone dying from riding straight into traffic.
