Notes

inflate schrader tires at the bicycle repair stations
e scooters don't work very well over 12 m/s winds or when paths are icy
bicycle paths are cleared quite regularly in the winter and salted
road bikes work fine in the winter
might want to get winter tires for bike aka with studs
possible to lose drivers license if ride bicycle drunk
there are bicycle repair stations but may be incomplete
tires can also be inflated at gas station air pumps

perhaps good to also mention the different shops that sells different brands of bikes and how if you buy a new bike then the chain needs to be tightened and adjusted within six months
