So far, Quebec is the only Canadian province that has updated its legislation to allow wheelchairs and mobility scooters on bike and roll routes and low-speed roads.
Then again, a fast cyclist is likely to hit those speeds on flats. And cars will still try to run me off the road even if I go that speed and the road I’m cycling on had a speed limit of 40 km/h.
Fast cyclists are an interesting case because they’re much faster than slow cyclists and incompatible with the bike lane, but they’re much more vulnerable than cars in the car lanes.
I guess they’re kind of like motorcycles in that way.
I meant 40 km/h using the machine’s power. There is a different vibe to someone pushing hard to reach 40 km/h on the kinds of streets that have a 40 limit (corner coming up every half mile, stop signs, lights) and someone that just twists their wrist and accelerate to 40 in a timely manner while sitting tall. Drivers react to the two very differently.
