Manage episode 521478744 series 2098280
A push to get more bike lanes as the Government eyes up moving e-scooters onto them from pathways.
ACC statistics show there were more than 2,100 claims for e-scooter related injuries in the first half of this year.
Payouts for e-scooter injuries this year are close to surpassing $14 million.
Cycling Action Spokesperson Patrick Morgan told Ryan Bridge e-scooters are here to stay, so councils need to build more bike lanes to meet demand.
He says we don't need a bike lane on every street, just on main thoroughfares where people want to go.
