Scooter Rides suspended

Spin Scooters suspends business for now.

In an email message received yesterday SPIN scooters has suspended business in Salem, MA over what they call negotiations with the city over scooter parking. I cam tell you that I was unable to find parking when I rode from Salem State area down to the Lobster Shanty. There were 10 parked outside Adriatic but I could not disengage mine there. I had to walk mine over to "The Derby" to turn mine off. Spin credited me the entire ride but apparently this was a much bigger issue.

Spin also was being used by unlicensed drivers, and folks not wearing helmets which also seems to be a rule of the road that was also not enforced. Kids were blazing all over town many under aged. Perhaps all of this should also be talked about before going for a SPIN resumes.
