Discussion: Mobile traffic

Even if it's not illegal (though I agree with you I think you can actually incur demerits using a phone whilst riding), it's inherently stupid as shown by a guy I saw doing it in Brisbane who almost fell off his bike.

Bike riders are only able to use a phone to make or answer calls, or play audio (including navigation). In order to do this, the phone must be: Secured in a cradle, or. Used without touching the device.

I still think they shouldn't be used at all because most people don't pay attention to what's going on around them when glued to the phone.

So stupid. How is a cyclist supposed to hold their umbrella and use the phone at the same time?

By tying the dog leash to the handle bars, obviously.

@juffy especially when the dog is a small horse

Where would you tie the leash when the helmet is in the way?

...to the helmet, obviously.

Use of bike lanes by motorised two-wheelers (mainly food deliveries) has become a problem in New York and it's starting to happen here.

I believe the road rules and fines apply to horse riders too - e.g drunk in charge of a vehicle.
