We enjoy walking, bicycling, reading, the arts, nature and animals.

Answer
Do you really want to go to an island if you are not a beach person? The big island has the fewest and least unteresting attractions, the Volcano being the major one.

I suggest Maui instead and if you do you MUST take the downhill bike ride, it is fabulous. If you go to Maui, you gotta do the downhill bike ride. I don't recommend the sunrise one because you have to get up at 3:00 AM to get started up the mountain and its cold up there that early. If you are a romantic do it, but otherwise no. There are different bike companies and some don't take you all the way to the top, and some don't guide you back down. You can come down by yourself, there's only one road with just a little traffic, but if you are squimish about riding in the street, a company that accompanys you down will help watch the traffic for you. I have been twice and prefer Maui Downhill to the others. These companies have web sites They will pick you up at your hotel, take you to their shop to pick out a wet-suit (for the cold and mist/rain shower maybe) and gloves and helmet; then take you up the mountain; then follow your group down so they can block traffic for your ride; then afterwards take you back to your hotel. Expect this activity to take 75-80% or more of the day.

how much would it cost me to transfer a title of a 49cc scooter in the state of florida.?

Stev

all fees included please. no insurance.

Answer
State legislators define a moped as a vehicle fitting all of the following criteria:

Pedals that allow you to propel the vehicle
A seat for the rider
Three or fewer wheels
Motor of two-brake horsepower or less
Maximum speed of 30 mph on level ground
Automatic power-drive system
Displacement of 50 cc or less (for those with an internal combustion engine)
Mopeds need to be registered at a county tax collector office. The registration fee is $19.10, and you must renew your registration every year. Thankfully, you don't have to pay the $100 initial registration fee.

You'll receive a motorcycle plate for your moped. If you're under 21 and the registration is in your name, your plate will have a distinctive design and color.

Moped drivers need to have at least a Class E driver's license, and be 16 or older to drive a moped on a public road. A motorcycle endorsement isn't required.

You will not be allowed to ride your moped on bike or foot paths. All passengers under 16 must wear a helmet.

Moped drivers aren't required to carry Personal Injury Protection insurance.

Be aware that moped drivers have the same rights and responsibilities as other motorists. And, yes, moped drivers can receive traffic tickets, too.

Top Scooters
Depending on its makeup, a scooter could be classified as a motorcycle, moped, or even a bicycle/motorized scooter.

A motorized scooter is defined as a vehicle without a seat or saddle for the use of the rider, designed to travel on three or fewer wheels, and a maximum speed of 30 miles mph on level ground. You are required to have at least a Class E driver's license and be 16 years old to ride a scooter.

You cannot register or title a motorized scooter, and you cannot drive a motorized scooter on sidewalks or public roads.

See where your scooter falls under these categories, and then follow the appropriate rules and procedures. If your vehicle meets the requirements for regular motorcycles, you'll need to title and register it accordingly. See our Motorcycle Registration section for full details.

Bicycle helmet shell dimensions?

young agai

I am designing a bike helmet shell, can anyone tell me what the dimensions of just the shell are of a child to adolescent sized helmet? Thank you!!!

Answer
Smallest sized helmet generally available is 48 cm (18.9 ")
There were smaller helmets around but most manufacturers steer away from these. The skull bones of a child less than this size may not have sutured together.

An adolescent can have a fully grown head

Larger sizes of 63 cm (24.8") are common. Some people need an even larger helmet.

Rough guide width 0.8 times length. Depth 0.4 times length

Wouldn't it be better for the government to give guidance as far as staying healthy by?

doing things such as giving fines to parents who fail to: make sure their children wear shoes when walking on pavement so that they don't end up with glass and other sharp objects cutting their feet; purchase a bicycle helmet for their children when they buy a bike and make the child wear it; and teach their children to walk on sidewalks instead of in the streets in order to stay safe? Wouldn't it make more sense for the government to worry about guiding people who do not have good judgment when it comes to parenting, instead of telling us to not drink pop and eat at McDonald's?

Answer
These are very different, not mutually exclusive so there doesnât need to be a choice. The government can do either, both or neither.

What you are proposing would be in effect mandatory, and the government is often cautious about imposing on citizens' choices by making everything mandatory. They do so from time to time, but usually only in clear cut cases. And even now, extremely bad judgment involving a child could perhaps be prosecuted under a child endangerment charge. (Which is a criminal charge, not a civil fine). Sounds like you are proposing a system of lesser, civil charges for minor cases of irresponsibility that probably wouldnât get prosecuted now.

One example where that is done now is with car seats, which are now mandatory. There could certainly be laws passed, probably at the state level, creating additional, similar requirements.

Such rules are enforced and made at a local level, while the dietary guidelines are usually from the federal level â in a sense a completely different âgovernmentâ so different organizations are deciding the two issues.

In any case, guidelines like that are just educational and do not force anyone to comply, so they can be issued relatively freely.
