Point 1 I don't believe my first point was incorrect, as most people I think, myself included, would give the officer the correct name and address.

The point is, one does not need to show ID. I'm aware that cyclists must obey the rules of the HTA, but demerit points given to a cyclist cannot be applied to the same person's driving record. I'm not disagreeing what a stop sign means, but a cyclist can easily do a standing stop where...

First of all, a cyclist and/or a pedestrian is not required to show ID to a police officer: name and address are sufficient for constitutional purposes. Secondly, a fine applied to a cyclist who is also a driver, does not apply to their driving record (see first point). Thirdly, the...

I may be in the minority, but the WOL (Wide Outside Lanes) allow cyclists and motorists to better (based on motorist speeds of 70 km/hr and a cyclist speed of 30-40 km/hr) share road-space in suburban areas; in York Region, for example, there are also painted shoulders on regional roads. I...

When living in York Region, I found motorists to be more courteous than those in Toronto, although, that may have been due to the increased road space. In my experience, suburban and rural drivers are generally more aware of their surroundings, or at least, less distracted than urban drivers...

Passing through on a bike is the worst - there's hydro cuts from Christie to past Dufferin.

Nopes; there's only one or two carts remaining now selling the hotdogs at the city average ($2), compared to up to four carts selling at $1 (and then $1.50).

The true terminus of Yonge St.

Um, I think the stanchions still serve a purpose in diverting entering/exiting patrons who use the front door and assisting those passengers who require assistance in climbing the steep steps. Also, just because some people have a BMI over 25, doesn't mean that we should accommodate their...

Um, I'm not sure if everyone realized this, but the article did not only mention speeding on highways, but also residential streets (7 km/hr over). At St Clair Ave w and Vaughn Rd, a left-turning driver (eastbound St Clair onto northbound Vaughn) almost ran over my foot in his hemi-truck and...

My familial home town of East Gwillimbury.

Even the automated metropass machines are frequently out of order and do not accept cash or credit (at least the ones I've seen).

Eglinton Ave W, just east of Allen Rd is a mess for traffic (and dumb drivers). I bike at or above the speed of traffic in the diamond lane and have, on numerous occasions, had drivers: fail to signal lane changes practically in front of me (one driver had his family with him...!?)...

Is your riding St Paul's?

If drivers actually enforced courtesy, crowding could be much more tolerable than it is now, and the whole service would be more efficient. The majority of passengers do not move to the very back of the bus/streetcar, nor do they take a seat when one is available and the driver's rarely, if...

Heh, riding a bicycle as a vehicle has just gotten me into collisions with drivers who expect me to act like those cyclists who don't.

TTC employees were handing out surveys during the afternoon rushhour...interesting

Exactly...the same people who cannot drive, cannot walk on sidewalks and/or up stairs are the same people who take elevators one or two floors instead of walking (up moving! escalators). These are the very same people who put their convenience ahead of others, despite the consequences of their...

Aww, I missed the UT Wonderland day - I did get to go with my work though for cheap though this summer...

You would think though for a fairly pedestrian-heavy urban area compared to the surrounding suburbs, emergency and police services would modulate the sound levels so as to lessen hearing loss and noise pollution.
