Opinion: Why We Should Stop Using the Word 'Micromobility' — Streetsblog USA

usa.streetsblog.org Opinion: Why We Should Stop Using the Word 'Micromobility' — Streetsblog USA

"SUVs, pick-up trucks, and passenger cars should not be the benchmark by which we judge the size of other forms of transit, and the term ‘micromobility’ encourages us to believe that they are."

Have to agree, micromobility only makes sense due to the car-centric mindset many (including me) have. It makes it seem like more of an accessory to a car or even more of a toy. Looking at it now, I could see how the term may actually discourage people from trying it it out or even viewing it as a viable option.
