Hi there. My name is Nick and I am starting an online petition to have the by-law which states that bmx bikes, and bikes in general, are not permitted into or onto Toronto city ramp facilities (skate parks) removed. I know that you may not necessarily be from around the Toronto area but I would like to extend an invitation to you to help me collect as many signatures as possible to have this by-law removed so when you have the chance to check out our city, you\'ll be relaxed knowing that no-one will hassle you to remove yourself from the parks or receive a stiff ticket. Please forward this site to everybody you know. If you would like to discuss anything related to this topic please feel free to e-mail me: [email protected] This petition is a one time signature, so make your voice heard. A link to the bylaw is: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/municode/1184_608.pdf bylaw #608-29 Thank you so much for your time and support. Nick

im still getting emails from people who have actually been fined at these parks lately. it really sucks that the city is spending time enforcing this instead of letting us just ride our bikes. im working on getting a meeting with someone at city hall so they have to finally address this stupid rule.

im honestly blown away by the momentum building behind this. seeing everyone come together to challenge these old rules shows exactly how much we all want to just ride our bikes without being harassed at the parks.

Bikes have been part of the park culture forever. This rule makes zero sense.

My son rides his bmx everywhere and loves the parks. Let the kids ride!

Spent years going to parks just to get kicked out by rent-a-cops. Just let us ride in peace.

About time. Toronto is so behind on this.

Seriously? We pay taxes for these facilities too. Open them up.

Ridiculous that we have these parks and can only use them if we are on a skateboard. It is all about the sport not the equipment.
