 Here are a few reminders from Toronto Police about navigating the means streets of the city on a bike:
 
 A bike is the same as a car
 
 O.K., not quite. But under the Highway Traffic Act, it's defined as a vehicle. That means it's subject to the same laws as automobiles.
 
 
 You can't ride on the sidewalk
 
 It's been illegal for a while now, but people still do it. And if cops catch you, you're liable for an $85 fine.
 
 
 
 Have the right equipment
 
 It's hard to believe but it's happened. A cop can stop you and give you a ticket if you don't have a headlight ($30), a bell or a horn ($90) or your brakes aren't working properly ($90).
 
 
 
 Helmets
 
 They're mandatory for kids under 18, but are recommended for everyone to reduce head or brain injuries. Failure to have your child wear one can cost you $60.
 
 
 
 Other fines
 
 You know what drivers are subject to. Here's what cyclists face if they don't do the right thing on the roads.
 
 Careless Driving: $265
 Riding on a closed road: $90.
 Disobeying a stop sign: $90.
 Failure to yield at a yield sign: $90.
 Failure to yield to a pedestrian: $90.
 Passing a stopped vehicle at a crosswalk: $90.
 Passing a stopped streetcar at a crosswalk: $90.
 Dangerous lane change: $90
 Failure to signal a turn: $90.
 Going through a red light: $90.
 Riding on the sidewalk: $90.
 Driving the wrong way on a one way street: $90.
 Two on a bike at once: $90.
 Refusing to I.D. yourself to an officer when asked: $90.
