From an environmental perspective, it's definitely an improvement over mopeds, but I do wish they wouldn't delimit them. No idea if the one in the above incident was, but I've seen so many.
Also, the state of this--should probably post this in the Deliveroo thread, but when you phone to get a takeaway from RASA N16 these days, which I rather like doing and have been doing for over 20 years, you get a free curry (I kid you not, and inevitably an excellent one) just because you're not using one of the exploitative 'delivery' companies (really: monopolising information flow and accumulation to force smaller businesses into accepting a huge cut to their takings).
I mean, I never understood the attraction of ordering pizza to be delivered to your door long before Deliveroo et al. started, but that's probably because I like riding my bike a lot, I don't particularly go for pizza (got nothing against it, it's just not food I turn to first), and I hardly ever get takeaways except from RASA, but I think the current development, where some shit companies are trying to get people to accept having food delivered as the default, is utterly absurd.
