What is that guy pointing at the lion?

Not sure. Here’s a better pic of the mural, interestingly I took this shot March 18, 2018. Almost 4 years to the day!

You noticed the lion didn’t you?

What?

I was wondering if that was a hand or (OMG) a gun. If it was gun, then I’d prefer to go paint over it. For so many reasons. Looks like a hand, I guess.

Def looks like a hand pointing. Regardless, please don’t paint over any commissioned public art murals, for any reason whatsoever lmao

It’s a handgun, isn’t it?

I assumed he was pointing, like…hey you there lion, I see you, but not today!
Alternately, if it’s a handgun, while I don’t support big game trophy hunting, I think it’s acceptable to try to shoot a lion if he’s chasing you while you’re on a bike.

Maybe it’s a metaphor…

Another fine example of them being used as “transportation”.

With all due respect, those things are fun AF and I used to just bomb the hills in my neighborhood with them before I got an e-bike :rofl:

Oh, I am not saying that they aren’t fun. I only commented because the defense of them here for quite some time was that they were mainly micro-transportation. While they are surely used for transportation by some, I suspect that a healthy amount of their use is for entertainment purposes. When used as such, the behavior of the rider is oftentimes sub-optimal.

Aw, it’s a scooter pen where they can’t clip pedestrians and cut in front of drivers. It might be their best use case.
