Damian’s day with SCootLives at IRC Parkside · Parkside → Leavey Library (study 1 h) → Lyon Center (gym 1½ h) → Parkside
One rental, about 2 h 45 min and 1.6 miles: $5 start + $2 for 1 extra hour = $7. No mile charge (under 2 miles). About 13 min of riding instead of 48 min of walking at 2 mph: about 34 min saved. Ethan keeps 90% ($6.30) because his scooter uses a key box; the other 10% covers card fees and the safety fund. Bikes are time only: no mile price.
