Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk is regulated at the municipal level rather than by federal or provincial law, creating varied rules across Canadian cities. In major urban centers like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, municipal bylaws strictly prohibit adults from riding bicycles on public sidewalks to protect pedestrians, requiring cyclists to use roads, designated bike lanes, or multi-use paths. Conversely, smaller municipalities or suburban towns may permit children or cyclists of all ages to use sidewalks where dedicated road cycling infrastructure is lacking.
