When you're stopped here you're supposed to provided ID but as far as I know there's no law saying so. Some bike advocates have suggested not providing your drivers license as ID since the occasional overzealous cop will try and charge you under the traffic act with demerits(they can't do that legally, only fine you). Sometimes when I go out for a ride around the neighbourhood I don't even think about bringing ID or money so it would suck if I got stopped. But then again I actually follow all traffic rules except for rolling stops at stop signs if there's no traffic.
