Dear Editor:
Regarding your article “Yes, bikes belong on the roads too” published on June 16, from what I can find on the internet, the Motor Vehicle Act states that “A person operating a cycle … must ... ride as near as practicable to the right side of the highway.”
Since that section of Gaglardi Way has a bike lane that to me seems definitely “practicable” to ride on, I think the police officer was correct. I bike fairly regularly, and I sense a lot of animosity of motorists against ALL cyclists.
If we don’t push our rights as cyclists to or beyond our legal limits, perhaps we can have more harmony on the road.
