One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint.
Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it.
This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to drive a motor scooter from an app on your smartphone like you order a ride on an Uber. I have a blast on these scooters and my mom and I make it a priority when we go on buying trips in Atlanta or Chicago. I highly recommend trying out Birding next time you are around some.

I didn't realize it was so easy to use these scooters! I see them around major cities all the time but I never took the time to figure out how they work. It's such a good idea that you have to take a picture after your done riding too. I will for sure try these out next time I'm in a city.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting concept! Traveling in Columbus often, I have seen the many scooters and have wondered what different companies are out there. I think that Birds is a great concept and was interested and enjoyed hearing your experience! I’m not too sure you could trust me on a scooter in a downtown setting.
Thanks for sharing,

I always see so many of these whenever I go to Cincinnati, but I have never tried it. Although, it seems like a very convenient, fun way to get around and I will definitely have to try it sometime!
