campus transportation

Bicycles are a benign form of campus mobility, relatively speaking.  That is, one gets the occasional speeder, the occasional person riding along and looking at their cell phone, rather than at the person they're about to run into.  But compared to electric scooters, they are - well, one can hardly say pedestrian, but they do a wheeled equivalent of ambling along.  Those scooters are truly terrifying, driven/ridden by maniacs who, despite half-hearted attempts at campus policing, and even more half-hearted banners and signs exhorting Trojans to be courteous, seem to have as their one ambition the running down - or at very least the terrifying - of mere pedestrians.
