騎單車

請問騎單車是不是一定要帶頭盔helmet, 法例規定?  Thanks.

If you are riding in parks (say, Stanley Park, for example), the helmet law does not apply. On the street, however, the law dictates that anyone that rides a bike must wear an approved helmet.

Of course, it seems to me that authorities aren't all that strict about enforcing this particular law.

I also got a question.

Are we not allowed to bike on the pedestrian sidewalk? Will they give us a fine?

It is too dangerous to bike on the street. ><

No, you're not supposed to bike on the sidewalk but people do it all the time. They can give you a fine but I've never seen or known anyone got a fine.

If you follow the bike route, it's pretty safe.

thanks,
but really, they will give you a $109 ticket for not having a bell?

Wearing a helmet is all about your own safety.  If you value your brain, you should do it!

cllo

really. $109 for a no bell. what the???
why would i put a bell on my bike.

btw, where are some of the good trail for mountain biking. thats easy and close to richmond.

yoursecret

I never heard of the bell fine neither.
For Richmond, probably along the dikes on the west side. It's completely flat and very wide, so super easy.

60B.
No person shall ride a bicycle upon a street unless the bicycle is equipped with a bell capable of being used as a warning.

I usually don't, because the helmet is not comfortable. However, when not wearing a helmet, I usually avoid heavy traffic area. Safety first ma!!!!!
