Interesting. Some of the U.K. legislation on bicycles and highways is old enough that it could potentially have bled through into #CanadianLaw early on. Some of the stuff about bicycles is from the Highway Act 1835, for example.

Looking at the Ontario Highway Traffic Act 1990, I regard you as fortunate that you have so much of your road legislation in one place, rather than in a mess of Acts going back centuries.

I particularly enjoyed the section on sleigh bells. Nothing like that in #UKLaw, to my knowledge, unless there's something in #ScottishLaw that I've overlooked.

Good to see that you've come down (or will be coming down) on the sensible side of the a-bicycle-with-a-motor-is-a-motorbike debate, too. (-:
