Unfortunately not every street has room for 3 separate modes of travel. There are real bike lanes on Davenport (Yonge-Weston) to the south and Rogers Rd. (Oakwood-Weston) to the north, if you're commuting by bike.

When I used to bicycle (and it's been a few years now), I never thought twice about blocking a lane of traffic. I don't recall ever things getting ugly ... cars always seemed pretty respectful to me ...When they block the only lane of traffic between Old Weston Road and Keele, it's going to get ugly.
Considering that most cyclists don't seem to have any problem breaking the law, and cycling down besides cars where there is no lane ... then in that case, I doubt they will be too troubled by breaking the law and cycling down the sidewalk.No, I meant that the traffic will be ugly.

Perhaps ... but not once in my life have I been walking down the sidewalk when a car driver brushes past me, swearing at me for being in his way!I always see motorists not stopping at stop signs, rolling through traffic signals as they make a right turn, taking two lanes of traffic making left or right turns, speeding over the posted speed limit, parking in NO STOPPING zones, stopping at red lights past the thick stop line and over the crosswalk (blocking pedestrians), etc.. Seems like habits practiced while driving their automobiles are just being carried over to their bicycles.
Could you cite the law which states that this is illegal?
“vehicle” includes a motor vehicle, trailer, traction engine, farm tractor, road-building machine, bicycle and any vehicle drawn, propelled or driven by any kind of power, including muscular power, but does not include a motorized snow vehicle or a street car
Is that the same liar who has posted that the police didn't arrest anyone during the G20 who wasn't protesting, that they didn't abuse anyone, didn't remove their IDs, and that they didn't use rubber bullets?Simply not true nfitz. Bikes may be considered vehicles, but there's much more in the Act.
