Haruko Yasuda关于Women Riders · Industry Diversity的点评

Hearing this kind of story genuinely makes me sad. Motorcycles belong to everyone who wants to ride, yet a handful of reckless riders end up clouding the image for everybody. Rather than scolding young riders outright, I'd rather push them forward by sharing the joy of riding safely. I hope more places in the city offer that kind of space.

Is a 13-year-old riding as a passenger even legal there in the first place?

Having the vehicle seized sounds like it'll end up burdening the parents too.

This kind of crackdown often ends up being a cat-and-mouse game in the end.

Curious about the details of what kind of modified bikes the 7 seized ones actually were.

I think the real challenge is how to connect this to actual prevention, not just stop at detaining them.

Involving an underage passenger too is an especially worrying part of this.

Makes me realize all over again that reckless riding among young people is a worldwide problem.
