1-9 over is $150.
10 & over $400.
$250 riding where prohibited.
$250 pathway use without proper lighting
$400 fine for anything deemed unsafe (including missing signalling devices, brakes, reflectors, lights at night, etc,.
$400 for colliding with someone.
Bear in mind the official pathway limit is 20kph and some high traffic areas like outside of Edworthy Park, etc. are 10kph and not even posted correctly.
This is absurd and seems like financial terrorism and the perfect way to encourage people not be healthy, active, or green in their lifestyle. Most bikes don't have speedometers. Most serious riders and serious bikes that are not toys do not come with reflectors. Who is in charge of this BS?

The only thing they should really enforce is the 10kph speed limit in the busy areas (Peace Bridge, Edworthy bridge, etc). And even then it's not about the speed, but just whether you're riding like a dick with people around.
