I dunno about elsewhere but in Ontario the legality of a bike being on a sidewalk is based on wheel diameter to permit kids bicycles. So there ends up being kinds of adult bikes with intentionally tiny wheels, and it creates a real menace to pedestrians. Some municipalities also have age restrictions to combat this. What are the more legitimate reasons for little wheels on bikes? I guess the goal like with this one is to have the least amount of bike as necessary?

    > Naturally, Ontario is just Toronto and London. Naturally you missed the point that "in Ontario the legality of a bike being on a sidewalk is" not (necessarily) "based on wheel diameter to permit kids bicycles." Rather, there are no Ontario-wide things that can be said about "the legality of a bike being on a sidewalk" because there is no Ontario-wide law on the subject.
