In total, over 2,200 charges were laid and approximately 800 cyclists cautioned.

This year, the campaign ran from June 9th to 22nd. "Cycle Right" was developed to educate cyclists about the dangers of aggressive riding, improve cyclists' compliance with traffic laws and ensure the safety of everyone on our roadways.

Bicycles have become a common method of travel for both recreation and transportation within the City of Toronto and they continue to grow in popularity. Each year, the Toronto Police Service receives numerous complaints regarding reckless bicycle riding. Even with the dangers to themselves and other road users, many cyclists continue to ride in an aggressive manner with little or no regard to the rules of the road. Riding on sidewalks, through red lights and stop signs, weaving through traffic or riding the wrong way down one way streets are common occurrences.

The Toronto Police Service is committed to preventing deaths or serious injuries as a result of aggressive riding and the "Cycle Right" campaign is a good start.
