  • Ride in bike lanes or on the shoulder, not on sidewalks (fines apply)  
  • You must be 16+ to ride  
  • Helmets are required under 18 (encouraged for all riders)  
  • Use a bell or horn, and turn on your white front light and red rear light at dusk

  • No riding on NCC pathways or in the ByWard Market  
  • Never ride distracted or impaired

Drivers: stay alert. Slow down, give at least 1 metre of space, and watch for vulnerable road users.
