Smoother Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 @Rehab1. I thought of you when I read that clause. Fools easily agree eh! It's a sad sign of the times. We are the first generation of EUC riders and we may be the last. This may be the golden age of the EUC. switzerland, Germany, england, Hong Kong, Swaziland ( ok I made the last one up). Bans are popping up all over. I wold t be surprised if @trya and olga sell their wheels. Where's the fun I wheeling around like a fugitive, always looking over your shoulder for the fuzz. I was plannin n taking Lassie back to England when I go home; but I don't Want to sneak around pretending to be a cyclist looking for the rest of my bike. enjoy it while you can folks, the future does not belong to us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's most frustrating is that these "Laws" are made by bureaucrats that have ZERO experience in this matter. They sit there making "Laws" that effect other people's lives because it gives them little tiny stiffies to be able to control people. We Can vote these idiots out if we want. Look what happened in the US election. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the worst case scenario - I'd rather move to some other place than give up the wheel. In the meantime, I'd simply try avoiding the police on my island, and we'll be riding together more in some other townships... it's ok to get a warning here and a warning there from time to time, even though they hurt the mood Today we were riding again, of course, will make some video-proof 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such a diverse group of members on this forum there are only a few videos featuring female riders! Yes, the family aspect is very enjoyable! I've been enjoying Trya's, Tishawn's and Duf's family videos. I used to really like when Dion's / djquestionthis' / myfunwheel's daughter joined him in the videos (my favorite: taking that huge projection screen to the coach's house). Did she go off to college or something? Edited December 12, 2016 by MaxLinux 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the same can be said about cars / planes even bikes..... The amount of deaths caused by cars......... But I do agree I don't like riding on the sidewalks.. I never do.

Popular Post Donafello Posted December 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2016 It really sucks these laws that I hear popping up around the world. I live in New York coty and have been flying around town for about a year and a half. I've never had a bad encounter with police. I have riding by over 50 I would say and in some cases riding to the third alarm past them. I've had 3 times where I had a direct encounter with a cop and every time they just wanted to know where I got it and how I liked it. Also one of the cops said he always sees me zipping around town and that I'm the only one he's seen riding one. Which is crazy. Now that I think about it I've never seen another one being riding either. The first person here in New York that can pull off opening a store and selling these units with after sales service will make a killing. Also can do lessons and stuff. I think I really need to look into this idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the street has a shoulder or bike lane, I use it, but in my area most streets do not. When I am on the sidewalk, I do everything I can to be as courteous and non-threatening as possible by slowing down and keeping my distance from pedestrians. I go out into the street when I encounter pedestrians. If it is not safe to do so, I stop, step aside, and let the pedestrians pass. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in countries where EUC's are not allowed on roads OR pavements / sidewalks, I suspect it is somewhat defensible if you are caught riding safely and with consideration for pedestrians on the latter, whereas if you are on a road, amongst cars and other traffic - well there is simply no defence for that - it IS inconsiderate, and it IS unsafe to do so, unless there are zero cars on that road. But this is particularly annoying, because roads are often far superior surfaces, and much more conducive to smooth, event-free riding than pavements are, at least in the UK, where the quality of paving is so widely variable.

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted December 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I took the MSuper V3 for an off-road adventure on the Fullerton Loop, an 11 mile trail in Southern California. The trail has some fantastic runs, some that I had to walk with the MSuper. A challenge for sure, but very fun. Took me about 2-1/2 hours. Here are some highlights.

For some strange reason here in the city.. people get very agitated and annoyed seeing anybody with wheels on the sidewalk.. bikes eu etc...... Also Cops will give you a ticket for riding on the sidewalk here... But yes if there is a bike lane i'm on it all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit it right on the head... The road in the streets are more safer. Here in New York - riding cautious unfortunately doesn't show kind gesture. The police will give us a ticket.. Doesn't matter what form of transportation it is. Riding on the sidewalk are a no no here.. We have no choice but to go on the street.....smh.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That 360 degree video is pretty cool. I like how you can drag around the video (on a PC). I've seen some music videos with that on Youtube as well as some jet fighter flights. What camera are you using to capture it? 1 hour ago, Karger said: Hy Guys New Video, from Hungary.
