    What’s Ontario like for riding a bicycle?

      I get honked at, cut off, yelled at and/or threatened about once per week.

        Wow that’s nuts. It would really help to teach children how to drive bicycles maybe, so they are more aware as adults.

      Bike infrastructure isn’t great. City started having some bike lanes but they aren’t all over the place, and a lot of cars and trucks are still disrespecting those lanes.

        Maybe it’s possible to form an alliance and move politically and legally.

        For example being able to use dashcam footage in court and charging it as assault.

        That being said, sorry to hear you can’t do it anymore.

            Is it currently not treated as assault or something when you push someone off the road?

                So dashcam is inadmissible?

                    I just wonder where the issue truly lies then. I mean it’s not these bad people, you have those everywhere all the time. But what’s missing in that justice system?

                    Here in the nl recording someone is illegal. But if you feel threatened it is allowed and you can send it directly to the police. You’re not allowed to post it to social media though.

      Bad enough in my area that I’m surprised our air ambulance helicopters don’t have bike racks for how often they’re picking up mangled cyclists lately.
