Sidewalk cyclists warned by Charlottetown police

Some downtown businesses are concerned too many cyclists in Charlottetown are giving up on the streets in favour of the sidewalk.

Deputy police chief Gary McGuigan said police are taking the concerns of downtown businesses seriously. "A lot of people aren't aware that there is legislation under the Highway Traffic Act, and that they're not permitted to drive their bicycles on the sidewalk," said McGuigan.
