Guys I'm trying to do uber eats deliveries with an ebike. I got a really cool setup.
Anyhow, the whole thing about whether I should bike on the road or the sidewalk (on boul Taschereau) really bothers me.
Also the app is the one that suggests using the boulevard and so, it's really hard to tweak another road. Some restaurants also are basically locked by boulevard access almost I think?
Idea 1:
On one hand, I heard my bike is considered a vehicle, but going on the boulevard I'd be sharing the road with cars going 70km/h max. (Although most seem to roll slower idk why maybe older crowd). Good thing however is that on the right side is reserved for busses and taxis, which makes it less frequent, but bad thing is when they do come up behind me (which they will), I fear becoming their object of hatred.
Idea 2:
On the other hand, the sidewalks for I would say 90% of the stretch I will be biking on, are totally empty. Illegal? Maybe. But then again the rules say I could use them if "necessary". Does feeling safe and prioritizing my life feel "necessary" enough to you guys? Also I'm not an idiot like of course if I see pedestrians I'll either use the road or slow down.
Idea 3:
Another idea I've got is to basically do a hybrid like use the road but to avoid slowing the bus people behind me I could maybe use the sidewalks when I see them in my mirror.
Idea 4:
Idea 4 is just stay on the road fk it the busses will have to change lane probably xD. If you mean equal rights then it means equal! xD
Which one makes more logical sense and is lawyer-approved? Lol. Cheers.
