Ottawa. In Ottawa footpaths that connect in general are bicycle=yes as
they come under municipal regulation but a sidewalk on a highway comes
under provincial legislation which bans bicycles on sidewalks. Sparks
street is fun I think you are not permitted to ride your bicycle but I'm
unsure if this is provincial, municipal or it might even be NCC which
is federal of course.<br>
<br>
In the UK they are banned by law but in certain cities the Chief
Constable has stated the law will not be enforced within the police
force boundaries as a letter of interpretation. It might be nice for
Ottawa to do the same sometime but there again we have City of Ottawa
police, OPP, RCMP and of course the PPS.<br>
