Loving this video wish all the cities are doing it across the world and add ticketing bad pedestrians and cyclists to the mix too. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE RULE OF LAW! Think of this too, cyclists only have one lane. Even with just one lane they are trying to take it away. Don't treat cyclists like and unwanted stepchild or a low class human being!

Forbes Hutton says: "Incorrect. The HTA requires bike riders stay as far to the right as possible and use the shoulder if it's safe to do so." == Incorrect. The spot you are talking about is already occupied by parked cars. According to the drivers, the cyclists should be riding bicycles on the side walk, or disappear altogether.

Uncle Johnny you are totally wrong and misinformed. As a citizen and resident of a city each and everyone are paying into the infrastructure maintenance. In your argument are you saying pedestrians do not deserve a path to walk on? It's about time someone is taking steps to enforce the law. See it too offen people are being endangered, because of our own human selfishness. Pedestrians taking over the bike lane even though there's sidewalk space, cyclists riding without follow traffic laws and cars park wherever they please. All with the mind set I am above the law and not hurting anyone. We allow need to learn to follow the rules and laws. Think of this cyclists only have one lane!

They may own a vehicle and pay taxes, but not necessarily. Besides, that is irrelevant to the point. There are few, if any, fees or taxes that are directly associated with operating a bicycle.

@Mario Grenier, Motorists pay specific fees and fuel-related taxes that are supposed to be allocated to road development and maintenance. Cyclists do not pay such fees, yet they not only use the roads but also demand parts of them be dedicated to their exclusive use. There is something wrong with that arrangement.

@@95bochamp I imagine that things are not very different between Montreal and Toronto. It is the property taxes (municipal) that are used to pay for street maintenance, parks, public libraries, water treatment, recycling and, you guessed it, cycle lanes. Every citizen pays for those. What motorists pay for, isn't for the municipal roads but for the provincial network (highways). In Quebec the gaz tax acconts for approximately 20% of the Transport Department budget. The 80% missing is paid through Income taxes, paid by cyclists as well. And let's not forget that most of them have cars too. They just don't use it for everything, like going to work 7 km from home.
