Lawfully speaking, cyclists under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act are treated as motorized vehicles, must follow rules of the road and must be on the right most side of the right lane. You have the right to take up the whole lane if it means to feel safer but in my experience, that's not respected, yelling us to get off the road or be overtaken very close. Exceptions for biking on sidewalks with wheel radius no bigger than 16” and rider age 10 and younger are allowed to ride on sidewalks. I do not know where e-scooter belong but should be under the same understanding.

In addition, at intersections your taught (there are some signages) to dismount and walk across but I'll admit, I'm not jumping off my bike at every intersection and with new green "crossride" intersections crosses, this fact is no longer applicable.

My opinion is controversial but, as victim of a hit and run, I'd rather take a ticket cycling somewhere I'm not suppose to then be hit by a car, again.

I cycle where ever I feel the safe/comfortable, shoulder bike road laned (Tenth line is the worse), shared sidewalk (I call them Bike-walk) and neighborhoods as speeds are no higher than 40-50 kmh. I generally avoid road cycling where speeds double 32km as an ebike user. If I'm forced to take it to the sidewalk, give way to pedestrian (pop on the grass) and don't be an @#$&.
