Must be nice.
Here in Canada, our government is so sticky when it comes to things like that. We don't even have any laws that support bikes like these. Here they fall thru a grey area of the law, so they are allowed more or less, but we have no protection at all.
We don't have any actual "bike lanes", we do have bike paths and of course nature trails.
When it comes to riding even normal bicycles...if they have a tire size larger than 20" they are legally supposed to be ridden on the road with the traffic.
I would like to see them try and force me to make my 8 year old daughter ride on the road...someone would get hurt from that and it wouldn't be her riding on the road, lol. A lot of our laws here are simply ridiculous. Luckily, the police have enough common sense to realize things like that and allow people to ride where it is safe. I haven't tried to ride anywhere other than the road though. I go the same speed (more or less) as the surrounding traffic so I figure that is where i should be riding.
No issues with police yet...other than being asked where they can get one, lol.
