Here is something else. During the pandemic, I went through MacDonald's drive-in on bicycle, because you couldn't go into the restaurant.

I was refused service because I was not a vehicle, and since only the drive-in was operating, I was absolutely refused service.

They claimed it was for safety.

Though technically it is true that a bicycle is not a vehicle according to the BC Motor Vehicle Act, the Act also says:

"a person operating a cycle on a highway has the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle"

The drive-through road constitutes a highway, according to the definition, which includes

"every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles, ..."

and

"every private place or passageway to which the public, for the purpose of the parking or servicing of vehicles, has access or is invited"

By a kind of stretch "rights" should include being treated the same by a drive-in for vehicles. :)

I actually cited this to them, but in the end it was come back with a car or no service.
