Bryant

For those of you who don't know Bryant, he was the attorney general in Ontario when the BSL was legislated.

If this is indeed true, this just proves what an a$$hole he is. I hope they throw the book at him if he is guilty. I bike into work and my heart goes out to all those bikers who get hit by cars because of jacka$$ drivers.

I hope they put a muzzle on him and keep him on a short leash, what a man to look up to, I've lived on pins and needles all summer as my son rides to and from work in ottawa daily, scares the heart out of me when you hear all the accidents

I bike 30kms along Hwy 2 and there are some drivers that won't move over and if I stuck my hand out, my hand would hit their mirror and they are going between 80-100km/hr. Very scary. It is 6 AM so there is very little traffic going the other way, mostly the same direction as me so there is no reason for the drivers not to move over.

Check the shoulders of the road, they may be in poor shape or there may be too much gravel/mud on them to use a road/racing bike on.

Yes, there is a 2-3 foot shoulder, but it is not maintained so at times I have to go on the hwy. There are farmers along there that have made such a mess that it is not possible to bike on the shoulder with a road bike.

And, yes I wear a helmet, I would never consider riding without one .

I've moved this here just because traditionally, anything to do with Bryant or the provincial Liberals have been discussed here.

Your friendly neighbourhood mod,
Ford

Oh he saw him and he tried to get the biker off the car. Then after the biker fell to his death, Bryant sped off, leaving the biker to die. This man is truely evil.

This just makes me sick, that poor defenseless biker :sad:

Then the pathway may be too rough for road bikes, their tires are thin and will get caught in the cracks.

Well isn't karma a bitch looks good on him I hope they throw the book at him. As long as this story is kept in the media they will not be able to sweep it under the rug with a slap on the wrists which is what will happen if it just fades away. He is an a$$hole and deserves the strongest penalty
