Ask the 1000+ people who have been ticketed in Santa Monica & Venice in the past week. Pros: Easy to get around for cheap Cons: Illegal to ride most places and Bird doesn't inform you of what is legal and illegal.

I was a very frequent Bird user before receiving a $190 ticket on Friday in Santa Monica for not wearing a helmet. It would be nice if Bird placed a reminder to wear a helmet anywhere besides the bottom of the scooter where you put your foot on thus rendering the information on wearing a helmet obstructed. No one here in Santa Monica has been riding these scooters with helmets. How do I know?...
