Here in Quebec, every bicycles must have these reflectors:

- White in front
- Red in the rear
- Yellow in front wheel spokes
- Red on rear wheel spokes
- One yellow on each pedals (it doesn't say on each side of both pedals.

Now, about lights:

- At night, every bicycles must have a front light capable of lighting an object at 10 meters, and rear light.

Furthermore...

- It is forbidden to sell or rent a bicycle without the proper equipment cited above.

That means...

- The Bixis are illegal. This is the city's bike sharing program.
- My bike, as sold to me, was illegal and still is. My wheel reflectors are white and I have none on the pedals.
- Just about everyone's bike is illegal, including the police's.
