Bicyclist Beware

Bicyclist Question
  • I was wondering if I could pick your brains:
  • 1. Are there specific streets I can't ride on?
  • 2. I assume traffic rules are the same for bike riders as well, including the left turn and right turns?
  • 3. Which lock would be a good one?
  • 4. I have heard that it is compulsory to have a light and a bell on the bike as well as reflectors. Is there is a specific make one buys?
  • 5. Are lights and bells and reflectors prone to theft also?
  • 6. Are bikes not allowed on sidewalks?


Pirate Answer
  • 1. There is a free cycling map given to anyone in the city, go get one at any bike shop
  • 2. its called vehiculer traffic, we obey there rules. I dont but who cares. I stay alive, major one rule
  • 3. anything Kryptonite, anything above thirty...but there cheap u locks to buy on Spidina general stores.
  • 4. its the law for bell and light, able to fine you 170$ I dont but i have no drivers license so i dont pay the fine.??!
  • 5. Take your lighgts with you or hide them, your seat and wheels are the things that will be jacked
  • 6. Most bike accidnets in Toronto happen when cyclist cross from sidewalk corners. Cars cannot respond...they don't see you...take the lane from the car, they will not run you down. Have faith in your cycling abilities and lack faith in their driving.
  • P>S> Come to bikepirates.com....or come out to Crirtical Mass, street party at SPidina and Bloor, last friday of the month at 6pm
