Had the worst bike related crash of my life due a set of monster potholes (normally cars parked over them) and small wheeled folding bike (20"). Pothole was something like 27cm deep at its worst (pretty sure i didn't even go into deepest part). Was off work (who later failed to renew my contact as was unable to really work normally for a time after) for 11 weeks and had two surgery's. 4 years later I still don't walk right and just had to cut short a 3 day ride due to epic knee pain.
Not a chance in hell I will ever ride a scooter on UK roads, but many will, and many will be injured (riders and others around them).
