Conundrum

One of the problems with the city removing bike lanes in mid-November is what do the cyclists who continue to ride the streets of Montreal do when their normal route has been closed?


Well, they ignore the fact and continue to use the space as if the bike lane was still there.

Though it does present the conundrum of whether to ride along the left or right side of the road since there is no longer any official bike lane. A few minutes viewing will show that some cyclists will choose the left and some will choose the right, though all the cyclists who are now illegally riding against the traffic on this one way street choose the left side where the bike lane used to be.

I wonder if a cyclist has ever been ticketed by the police in the winter for riding the wrong way on a street that for the rest of the year would have been the place a cyclist is expected to use?
