Pausing is a great way to maximize your time spent with our Share by Sessions Bikes. Pausing allows you to use the bikes for activities such as wine touring, running errands or stopping off for a quick bite to eat. Pausing reduces the rate at which the bikes are charged, and reserves the bike for you, making them unavailable for other users. Please note pausing a ride inhibits your ability to end the ride, only an active ride can be ended.

Share by Sessions Vehicles must be used in a manner that is supported by the laws in the Province/State of the Country in which they are rented.
For British Columbia:
Vehicles my be used on public roadways as close to the white dividing lane lines as possible. It is not necessary to ride on the right of the lines marking the shoulder. Riders MUST be in single file and riding in the direction of traffic.
Riding against the direction of traffic creates blind spots in which drivers may not be able to see or react accordingly to riders which may lead to serious injury or death.
Riders retain the same responsibilities they would as if they were driving a standard motor vehicle and thus are required to follow the laws and suggestions of all posted signage regarding usage of the roadways, including but not limited to, Stop signs, Yield signs, Stop lights, and other applicable signage indicating road usages in the areas travelled.
Riders can not be intoxicated, and can suffer similar or worse penalties to the operation of a motor-vehicle while under the influence of controlled substances or are otherwise compromised of their usual mobility and cognitive functions.
