I purchased an e-scooter couple of months ago. I hit a bit of a learning curve - a pothole in a sidewalk, flipped over the handlebars & broke a finger on the hand that I put down to catch myself. I got right back on. So, should I tell my boss, so that I can have open availability now because of scooter & in hopes of more hours? He was pissed when I asked for time off to go to ortho appt - I changed it, but he still took me off the schedule for a week. This week, I'm just back up to 20 hours.

Dang. That is rough that he's taking away your hours.
I've been commuting by bike for 19 years (I commuted by skateboard for a decade, prior to that).
My boss gave me some grief for not taking a taxi to get home, years ago. I left the office at about 3am and broke two fingers in a crash. But she did not limit my availability. As long as you can work, HOW you get there should be of no concern to your manager.

I agree. Thanks for the encouragement. The time cut was more about the fact that I asked for time off to get my finger rechecked after the schedule had been made.

How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.
