    Anybody booked test ride of a Zero (electric) bike?

    How do insurance work on these things? How do you answer "Whats the displacement of this bike?" with "electric" and not sound like you're driving one a Vespa? :lmao:

    We Ride App

    This is a dreadful app... but I like the basic concept. I'm thinking of making a web app that does most of what this is doing (and more) without having to download an app. Should work on Android/iOS/BB/Windows Phone no problem. It'll be faster/better looking too.

    Psa: Check your tire pressure right now!

    You've probably heard it hundreds of times before but check your tire pressure. Don't say you'll do it before your next ride, because if you're like me you'll likely forget about it. Do it right now. I recently found out that my tires were 10-12psi lower than the recommended pressure and I've...

    Young beginners in Mississauga?

    I don't think we'll be that bad to be honest. I commute every single day on my bike about 15-20km total + errands. Nearly 1000km total now. So it's not like I've never ridden before, just that I don't have years of experience like some other people here. Yeah sure, sending one now.

    Which company would insure an 18 year old?

    Young beginners in Mississauga?

    Oh yeah I definitely agree with that, I was actually trying to get this going specifically *because* of the lack of skill. I have a feeling if us beginners try to mix in with the expert crowd we'd be too tempted to push our limits just to keep up; I definitely don't want to be a part of that...

    Young beginners in Mississauga?

    Anybody interested in doing a young beginner riders meetup? By young riders I mean ages 16-22 (approx.). Preferably people that are just starting out with riding or group riding and want to ride with people of equal ability. I live in Streetsville specifically but I'm cool with going just about...

    Helmets for passengers?

    Thank you very much for the elaborate responses and citations. Learned a lot.

    Helmets for passengers?

    Relax everybody, it was purely hypothetical. I've been asked the question many times and I've never known. I wouldn't take a passenger, even with a helmet! Anyway, so if they're above the age of 16 (no longer endangering a "minor"), the ticket goes against them? Or no ticket at all?
