請問騎單車是不是一定要帶頭盔helmet, 法例規定?  Thanks.

Wearing a helmet gives you "helmet hair", no need to go for Japanese straightening anymore.

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!!!!!

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.

not sure about other cities, but vancouver is a must
good trail for mountain biking - if u r looking for downhill, there is no good place in richmond, no mountain ma.

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.

cllo

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

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

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.

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. ><
