Considering that the city felt that Segways were not fit for the city’s many busy sidewalks, Torontoist isn’t sure how allowing high-speed, and heavy scooters and motorcycles on sidewalks would be a good idea. While the proposed by-law doesn’t allow for riding on the sidewalk, Torontoist is pretty sure that if it goes into place there’ll be more than a few riders who’ll be tempted to travel on the sidewalk just a few blocks in search of a nice spot to park their motorbike. Or block the sidewalks while they wander in for a quick cup of coffee. All and all, a pretty lousy idea.

Q and A: Brick throwing
I know a question that many of you have is, “When is it proper to throw a brick at someone?” Hopefully this list will help:
It is acceptable to throw bricks (soaked in lighter fluid and set on fire) at these types of people:
People who have backpacks with wheels on them.
People who ask you what time it is.
People who drive too slow. (These people also usually have at least 2 political bumper stickers from the 80′s)
People who try to force thier opinions on you. (such as telling you how old they are.)
People who make a point to act like someone that they arne’t. (Actors are an exception to the rule, unless they advertise a new type of lawn fertilizer.)
People who breathe indoors.
People with mullets, skullets (A balding man with a mullet.), or guys with ponytails.
