Whether you are a cyclist, pedestrian, car, truck or taxi driver, we all need to learn to share the road. Urban life is fast-paced, spontaneous and at times very hectic, especially for cyclists in a city like Toronto. (“Caronto!”) Zygg would like to share some valuable information with our ebike subscribers and food delivery riders:
Zygg and The Biking Lawyer LLP want you to Know Your Rights when riding a bike! Come join us online this Wednesday June 15th at 3:00 p.m. for a chance to ask questions with David Shellnutt, aka "The Biking Lawyer", an expert on legal issues involving people on bikes. This workshop is especially for Zygg subscribers and is FREE to attend on Zoom.
