"Cycling is reaching epidemic proportions: Just this spring, Harry Rosen festooned his Yorkville shop with mannequins in suits, all riding bicycles; heck, even Michael Bryant bought a new Cannondale at Duke’s Cycle in June.
There’s just one thing missing: a bicycle network. The 2010 Toronto Cycling Map tells the story. The city has exactly one north-south bike lane, on Sherbourne Street, which connects Bloor Street to Queens Quay, and no east-west bike lane. The College lane dies at Bay Street; the Harbord-Wellesley bike lane dies for four blocks between Borden Street and Spadina Avenue."
Hmmmm - great profile Toronto cycling on a National scale, BUT what about the 88,000km of trails in Ontario - they need to be connected - or the 250,000km in Canada? Now there is a story of national importance.
Ontario boasts over 80,000 km in trails. Whether you're in downtown Toronto or North of Superior, we have a trail for you. The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails. You'll find everything from gentle walking trails to rock faces for climbing and water routes to canoe and kayak.
