Glad you enjoyed it. I sure hijacked BrianG's thread good eh!
There's a bit of a gray area concerning the law with pedal assist bikes and scooters. A loophole that some cops like to take advantage of. If they find you running without the pedals for example, they will assume that it is now a motorcycle and not a pedal assist scooter so they give you tickets for not wearing the proper helmet (if you just have a bicycle helmet) a ticket for not having the proper license, a ticket for no registration, a ticket for no insurance. It ads up to quite a sizable amount. Now they are trying to stick you with a whole bunch of infractions but it doesn't hold in court as a few have found. Just because the pedals were not on doesn't mean that the pedal assist scooter magically becomes a motorcycle. So people get out of court without paying the fines. But they did loose a day's pay and wasted their time going to court.
Today is a bit of a sad day. I noticed ice patches on the streets so the scooter stayed in the garage and I took the car to work this afternoon.
First time using a car to go to work since May. And you know what, driving a car is frikkin' boring.
