Even if the speed limit is changed, that wouldn't cancel out any of the tickets. They were still going faster than the posted speed limit at the time so the offence still stands.

... and if the posted speed limit was reasonable, she wouldn’t be breaking the law and she wouldn’t be guilty if anything or any crime. So, what’s your point?
That's the cyclists problem. They can add one easily, they've been around for years. You have to wear a helmet too..but the bike doesn't come with that...
Throw the book at her. She's a lawyer, so she has some professional responsibility to be aware of regulations. Too many Toronto cyclists feel the rules of the road don't apply to them. As I've tried to cross a street in my neighbourhood where there's a stop sign on the cross street, I've been told by lycra-clad Tour de France wannabes to get out of their effing way. This summer an adult cyclist nearly knocked me over after sailing through a stop sign, and then took offense when I grabbed him so he couldn't ride off. I see cyclists riding after dark with no lights whatsoever and wearing dark clothing. Fortunately, most cyclists don't behave like this, but the bad apples need to be identified and given a healthy dose of reality. The Highway Traffic Act applies to cyclists just as it does to motorists.
It's not HTA that applied here (b/c speed limits specifically do not apply to cyclists in HTA) but rather a Toronto by-law, which does not distinguish between traffic participants. Even tobogganers can be fined under that.
If a speed limit is in place, then it applies to everyone. If you don't like it then fight the speed limit not the enforcement of incidents. It's a structural problem not a cyclist problem.
As a trucker pulling 137,000 lbs on b trains we get the same ticket at the bottom of hills. We tried the same argument in court didn't work. Bikes need to follow the rules and pay road taxes. On free ride.
As a cyclist, any infractions you are convicted of will also be automatically be applied to your drivers licence, and you will accrue demerit points, penalties and higher insurance premiums, even though you weren’t in a car when allegedly committing the infraction.
NAW, IT'S NOT THE CYCLISTS. IT'S THE DELIBERATE ABSENCE OF CIVIC DUTY, NEIGHBOUR. JUST LIKE BELFAST, THE CITY OF TORONTO IS WHERE LAWLESS STREETS CELEBRATE PEDESTRIAN TERROR AND CHILD TRAFFIC TERROR! ISN'T THAT ADORABLE? THE MAYOR IS IMMUNE TO HER HAPPY EXTERMINATION CAMPS, WHERE THE DESTITUTE ARE DELIBERATELY MURDERED BY STARVATION, FREEZING OR KNIVES.

Thank you TO Police. Wish more municipalities would enforce laws for cyclists. That speed limit is there because it is a shared space with pedestrians, just like cars need to give extra space and be careful for cyclists. Hitting a pedestrian at 35km/h with a bicycle can cause serious harm. As for the most cyclists we're doing over 20, stop counting those within 5 km/h of the limit, the ones the don't ticket specifically to account for downhills...
This cops have AWAY too much time in they're hands.Go check that boxy shape weapon of choice that we call card and Trucks or go check the crime going around all Toronto!!
If you want to go over 20 down that stretch just do it on the sidewalk. You are no longer committing a provincial highway traffic Act offence if you are no longer riding on a highway. A sidewalk is not a highway, under Definitions, in the Act. You MAY be liable for a fine of riding a bike on a sidewalk, but I am guessing such a fine is much less expensive and less onerous on a licensed driver, than being caught speeding down a road on a bike.
stupid i did faster than the clock i had a speed amiter to prove it i did it for years steep contry roads were great. 2 i was 11 or 12 when i started it in the 1960s. it was great fun to do it indead an i even pasted city buses lmao. OVER 60MILE HR.
I've known about bike limits since I was a kid.... never have I ever heard anyone being ticketed for speeding and 90 percent of my riding is above it. How can they ticket me if I leave the wallet at home and don't have ID? Do they arrest me for 48 hours? Stupid law
If her bicycle with heavy frame is ev exceeds 32kmph the bike should be seized as it then becomes a motorcycle over that. 36kmph ev bikes have to be limited to 32 at that speed they break peds bones or worse make helmet contact.
Even if the speed limit is changed, that wouldn't cancel out any of the tickets. They were still going faster than the posted speed limit at the time so the offence still stands.
in what way? a license is not required for a bicycle, nor a speedometer.
TORONTO'S TRANSFORAMTION TO WEASEL CAPITAL IS ASTOUNDING! SENSATIONAL! SLICK!!!!!!!!@@cdoublejj

Profoundly unfair & unjust....
But she WAS doing 36 in a 20 zone & all she had to do was apply her brakes.
I’m guessing you’ve never ridden a bike, as an adult.
Does it also apply to runners?
@@Feronom if they can go that fast, yes
I wasn't aware if there was even a speed limit. Lol seems like a fair argument! Lol
THE POLICE ARE STUPID? HOW DIM ARE YOU? IS YOUR PRICELESS CIVIC DUTY REPLACED BY STREET CRED, CUPCAKE?
Canada has become a complete joke, never heard of a bicycle speeding ticket
She sounds like the kids in their Honda's 🤣🤣
Huge Karen.
Has everybody lost their minds?
If she was speeding she is guilty. Everyone is responsible for their choices , even lawyers!
... and if the posted speed limit was reasonable, she wouldn’t be breaking the law and she wouldn’t be guilty if anything or any crime.
So, what’s your point?
shalom my firend!
Bicycles don't come with helmets, but you're required to wear one.... what your point.
She is over 18 and in Ontario she is not even required to wear one.
bicycle dont even have a speedometer. it is impossible to know how much you are going.
Or to how use English
lol
@@Tanrichguy very racist i report you.
@@Francois_Dupont oh thank goodness. You know how I cannot stand Hercule Poirot.
That's the cyclists problem. They can add one easily, they've been around for years.

That cyclist you grabbed sounds dumb. You should carry pepperspray for unruly pedestrians when biking.
@@shawnl9523 or you could try stopping at stop signs for once instead of being an entitled jerk
It's not HTA that applied here (b/c speed limits specifically do not apply to cyclists in HTA) but rather a Toronto by-law, which does not distinguish between traffic participants. Even tobogganers can be fined under that.
Even you make them a cyclist path.. they use the road.. it's like they want to be cars
ridiculous
Your bike doesn't have a speedometer so you could not know your speed.
If a speed limit is in place, then it applies to everyone. If you don't like it then fight the speed limit not the enforcement of incidents. It's a structural problem not a cyclist problem.
Wish I could use her reasoning driving in my car 😒
Too Fast Too Furious
What about runners? Do they have to run less than 20kmh?
Depends, who's chasing you?
As a trucker pulling 137,000 lbs on b trains we get the same ticket at the bottom of hills. We tried the same argument in court didn't work.
Bikes need to follow the rules and pay road taxes. On free ride.
As a trucker pulling 137,000 pounds the consequences of anything going wrong are astronomically increased compared to a frickin bicycle.
As a cyclist, any infractions you are convicted of will also be automatically be applied to your drivers licence, and you will accrue demerit points, penalties and higher insurance premiums, even though you weren’t in a car when allegedly committing the infraction.
Thank goodness if this is true. Cyclists are out of control.
You get a DUI on a lawnmower or a boat too. Motor vehicle.
Skateboard fines too?What a joke

Police focus more on crimes/violations that are easy and less confrontational.
They don't want to deal with criminals. They want to ticket citizens.
Too much time in the cops hands maybe.The easy way.

Pay the fine and move on.
We have thousands of extra Canadians just dying. And this is news?
Thousands ? From what. Do tell
Did she dieded ?
Bikes are dangerous because they are silent. 221 pedestrians were killed in bicycle related collisions in 2022.
A speeding ticket on a bike is insanity . Throw the book at them. Bikes don't have a speedometer and everyone knows that. We live in a police state
Be careful
Charter challenges usually take years
She's a big girl and broke the law time to pay up. If she were a cop judge or pollution she would get away with breaking the law.
Thank you TO Police. Wish more municipalities would enforce laws for cyclists.

FAST AF BOI!!!!
Summary - injustice is required to save face
KARENS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They smell money with the bicycle as less cars on the roads.
why is this so hard lol
Wow, can you can a ticket for speeding while running?
Fk stopping for da law when im on my fast bike
I hope she wins, then we can toss out speed limits for cars as unconstitutional too 🎉.
Once she wins, I think those who use vehicles will have a reference point to argue the same. Speed limits in some paths / roads are just too low.
This cops have AWAY too much time in they're hands.Go check that boxy shape weapon of choice that we call card and Trucks or go check the crime going around all Toronto!!
This is ridiculous.
What’s ridiculous about it? She was speeding.
Our govt at work!! What a waste of money and time. If you broke the law, lay the fine and move on.
GFY
Cops tried to stop me when i flew down the hill
I flipped em the bird and went faster
Catch me if you can
Yea that's the spirit!
dey be keepin a brotha down!

Sooooo dumb. Just bc the law isn’t easy to follow we shouldn’t have it?!🤣 Buy a speedometer or take the tickets🤷♂️
Everyone with a brain knows you have to follow the rules of the road even on a bike
If her bicycle with heavy frame is ev exceeds 32kmph the bike should be seized as it then becomes a motorcycle over that. 36kmph ev bikes have to be limited to 32 at that speed they break peds bones or worse make helmet contact.
HOLD DAT
I hope they accept her explanation of safety as to increasing the speed limit for bicyclists.
Cope and seethe
They will simply increase the speed limit to 30 on that section and her ticket will be reduced.
A lawyer fighting for herself , what an irony 😅😅😅😅
What exactly is the concern with cyclists speeding? Are they sharing the path with pedestrians?
With that logic you could say the same with cars...
Police, coming from somebody who likes the police, pick your battles. We got a lot worse things to worry about.
Lol she's a lawyer lol I can't use my breaks lol😅 I bet she loses. if city's inforce the laws it make alot of money off pedestrians and cyclists.
I wish her luck. This ticket of speeding seems ridiculously petty.
Holy Crap! Don't cops have anything better to do! Money grab!
Speeding is Speeding plain and simple.
