Show Notes:

Six ways to get a ticket on your bike in Vancouver:

Not having a bell - $109
Failing to stop at a stop sign - $167
Two abreast on the road -$109
Riding on the sidewalk - $109
Not wearing a helmet - $29
Riding without due care - $195

Cycling advocates are stunned that the Vancouver Police Department chose the month of June to start a ticketing campaign against cyclists. June is Bike Month in Vancouver, a time when citizens are encouraged to get out of their cars and onto their bikes. We speak with Lisa Slakov of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition.
