Cyclists welcome new bridge

Paved shoulders on O'Reilly's Bridge give members of the Niagara Freewheelers Bicycle Touring Club something to smile about.

Saturday, more than 40 cyclists utilized the bridge to go on their 70-kilometre cycling route and it's the day John Swart has been anxiously awaiting.

The new $2.8-million bridge opened last Friday at 5 p.m.

During their official cycling season, the 316-member touring club rides from March 15 to Oct. 31.

During the off-season, members gather under the Winter Fanatics name and tackle routes ranging from 40 to 70 kilometres.
