From today's City of Toronto's "Cyclometer" web publication:
Toronto Police "Cycle Right" Campaign
A Toronto Police Cycle Right campaign is currently underway. Police officers are ticketing cyclists who are not in compliance with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. The HTA states that bicycles need:
- A steady white light on the front of the bicycle and a red rear light or reflector if you ride between half an hour before sunset and half an hour after sunrise, and at any time when your bicycle is not visible from 150 metres or less.
- Rear brake capable of skidding the rear wheel on dry, level pavement.
- A bell, gong or horn in good working order.
- A strip of white reflective tape on the front forks and red reflective tape on the rear forks - each strip no less than 250 millimetres in length and 25 millimetres long and 25 millimetres wide .
I wonder how many of us have the reflective tape?
