just be glad you dont have 0 bikes on the road.... that will be an interesting consideration....

division by 0, would that be cancelled out by multiplying by 0?? in which case if you cant divide by 0, whats 0/0??
If you take division as calculating the amount which gives the original value when zero is multiplied by it. In that case the answer would be undefinable.

It also depends on the numerical system - dealing with mathematical laws and theorems it would appear to be undefined, however take such a physical example as "multiplying two hundred bricks by zero" - you still have two hundred bricks!
