Horseback Riding
"Highview Farms features a scenic public Trail system on horseback; providing a pleasurable trail ride approximately one hour in length. Trails are supervised by experienced Trail Guides and may accommodate 8-10 riders per group. Experience is not necessary as riders are found suitable horses to best match their riding ability. Children must be 9 years of age to go out on the trail system, however pony rides are available for those young horse lovers under the age of 9yrs."
Welland Canal Trail Riding - GTA Motorcycle.com
"In spite of the rutted and washed out sections the trails have a lot of potential. If trespassing could be eliminated and the trails groomed smooth to flatten out the ruts these trail sections would make an excellent grand prix style track that run along a beautiful section of the canal. In fact, if the wide sections of land up to 100 metres across between the roads and bridges were groomed for this purpose there would be several tracks that could be used and enjoyed by riders of all skill levels."

That said, each year between 50 and 70 bicycle accidents occur where cyclists are killed in a car accident.

Bike Train Expands Service | Women's Cycling.ca
"Train travel produces 50% fewer emissions than travel by private vehicle, and bicycles are the most efficient form of land transportation known to man. Considering there are between 80,000 and 130,000 vehicles travelling on Highway 400 every day, the Bike Train is a great way to reduce traffic and lower travellers’ carbon footprints.
