The new sensation sweeping the nation..

[Mikey P]

App supported, electric assist rental bikes.

1000s of them all over Scruz and Reno, how about your town?

Tahoe had those skateboard scooter things but the crashes we're getting epic. San Jose still does.

South bend has a program called lime bike. Lime green bikes for free use. You see them on sidewalks everywhere. They are chipped and get rounded up occasionally for maintenance then placed around town again.
We see them up here in niles once in awhile.

 

[FredC]

Several different scooter companies around here.

 

[Jimmy L]

Do they come with snow tires?

 

[hogjowl]

You can’t ride a bike around here.
The log trucks will kill you.

SF has at least 3 different such bike rental compaines, SF also has 2 or 3 stand on scooter and 1 riding scooter rental companies.
I think Paris started having these over 15 years ago.

Pine trees
Everywhere

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I wouldn't let the kids ride on most roads here either.

 

[steve_64]

They put bike lanes in with the cars here and passed laws that are suppose to give riders 3 feet. Yeah lots of people dying on bikes here.

Germany is the only place I've been to that kept the bikes off the roads.

Georgia-Pacific has hundreds of square miles in monoculture yellow pine trees. Make heap big chip mill money.

[Nomad74]

Damn hippy bikes. I’ll stick with my fun machine.

 

[hogjowl]

The Zipper?

 

[Mark Saiger]

Pedego electric assist bike.

Bought it to get around fast at Saiger's South.

Twist grip throttle also when you don't want to peddle.

26 mph in top gear (sure could use more gears) and peddling like crazy while using the twist grip throttle too
