Respectful Riding in Washington, DC
Skip riders respect their neighbors, are courteous, and always ride responsibly. If you enjoy Skips in the District and want our friends at DDOT to consider letting Skips live in Washington, DC permanently please help us out by being an awesome ambassador while you’re out riding. Respect others, ride in approved areas, and remember that scooters in DC are a privilege that we hope will one day become a permanent source of transportation for community members like you!
Wear a Helmet
All riders are encouraged to wear a helmet while riding. Contact us to receive a free helmet and look out for our Skip Scouts who are out on the streets ready to help (and if available will provide helmets as well)!
