Article - Cyclists and skateboarders ride to be green

"I think the real issue is that it shouldn't be acceptable to make something illegal based on what it "could" do. Drivers "could" be reckless and yet it's not illegal to drive a vehicle" said Michaud. She believes the solution to the problem is for the city to lay down behavioural guidelines. They need to establish with skateboarders that they need to obey the traffic laws, use hand signals, and leave the tricks and jumps off the road.

"As long as skateboarders are obeying the rules of the road then they should be allowed to travel on it just like vehicles and bikes are," said Michaud.
