Legal requirements for a bicycle in Quebec (as ganked from the Highway Safety Code (http://www.canlii.org/qc/laws/sta/c-24.2/20070516/whole.html)):
* one white reflector at the front * one red reflector at the rear * one amber reflector on each pedal * one amber reflector attached to the spokes of the front wheel * one red reflector attached to the spokes of the back wheel
At night every bicycle must also carry at least one white headlight and one red tail-light.
[...The white headlight...] must enable the [...rider...] to discern a person or an object at a distance of 10 metres.
The headlights, lights and reflectors prescribed must be visible at a distance of not less that 150 metres.
They must be kept free of any obstructing matter that reduces their effectiveness.
Every bicycle and non-motorized scooter must be equipped with at least one brake system acting on the rear wheel. The system must be sufficiently powerful to quickly block the rotation of the wheel on a paved, dry and level roadway.
Flashing lights are allowed by omission. The law only bans "road vehicles" from having flashing or rotating lights (unless they're allowed to, like police). But in Quebec a bicycle is not classed as a road vehicle.
