Working with Everyone Rides as a connector but us in contact with neighbourhood associations. One of the many discussions at one neighbourhood association meeting with  meeting yesterday was about bicycles on the sidewalk. Boy was I not expecting that. Riding on the sidewalk is prohibited for adults under the Highway Traffic Act and different municipality has there own rules. If a adult is riding on the sidewalk, you have to ask why. The most common reason is that the rider doesn't feel safe riding in the infrastructure or lack of. This falls on the City. If you feel you lack the confidence to safely ride on the road
@Everyone_Rides_, Cycle Hamilton and New Hope Bikes all have instruction and or resources that can help with this.
