I was there two weeks ago and you still have to have eyes in the back of your head to see the buggers coming.

People still have the freedom to use this convenient transport but there are rules and conditions to follow to improve safety.

I heard they had been removed for Iron-man and they just haven't got around to putting them back. But wouldn't it be great if they put that off until mañana- forever.

It certainly would they’re a nightmare an accident waiting to happen These idiots with their little kids on with them 🤷‍♂️ Also they’re a lot like cyclists many of whom have total disregard of the rules of the road

Paris has banned them I hope everyone follows sui

I find them very useful bur each to their own. Certainly a reasonable alternative to clogging the narrow streets with polluting cars..

If they stuck to the cycle lanes instead of weaving in and out of people I would be more tolerant of them

Taking small children on with them is just plain crazy 

Lanzarote Is the fifth highest accident hit spot in the whole of Spain 

I have witnessed a couple myself and it isn’t pretty
