The use of the bicycle ... allows people to create a new relationship between their life-space and their life-time, between their territory and the pulse of their being, without destroying their inherited balance.

7Many of this guides trails follow old railbeds that were once used to connect many of the commun-ities in the province.
Other trails offer a totally urban experience, provid-ing the cyclist with a safe way to get around in a large city.
We have divided Ontario into eight regions for the purposes of this guide. Beginning in the west, this guide highlights the most interesting bicycle paths and rail trails in the province. The Waterfront Trail, a 740km trail stretching along Lake Ontario, is pre-sented in the nal chapter.

Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails 8
Travelling by BicycleCycling is much like hiking. It allows you to become immersed in the outdoor experience, but at a slightly faster pace. As you ex-plore the provinces different trails, you will nd yourself marvel-ling at the uniqueness and diversity of Ontarios landscape. Bike paths and rail trails also provide safe, environmentally friendly transportation for all kinds of outdoor experiences, including family outings.
Rural rail trails in many ways are repeating the history of railroad development in the late 1800s. They are once again connecting one community with another. They also serve a more environ-mental purpose in that they provide migration routes for many different species of wildlife.
During the spring, with each pedal stroke you will nd yourself enjoying the sweet perfume of rail trail wild owers. The heat of the summer creates a urry of activity, and an observant rider will see that life abounds along every kilometre of trail. The cooler temperatures of fall bring forth a vivid canvas of colour. With any luck, you might catch a glimpse of a painted turtle on top of a log catching the last warming rays of sunshine before winter sets in. Even cycling these bicycle paths and rail trails in winter has its own peculiar rewards and skill-testing obstacles.
How to Use this GuideTo make the guide easy to use, the province has been divided into regions. Each region includes many maps highlighting vari-ous city bicycle paths and nearby rail trails.
Enjoy the adventure!
9Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails
General InformationListed below are several def-initions of terms we have re-tained for the purposes of this cycling guide.
Bicycle PathA path that is separate from the automobile transportation network. These routes are al-ways located within a com-munity. Their surfaces are gen-erally comprised of asphalt or crushed limestone. They have two purposes: rst, for tourism, and secondly as alternative transportation routes. These paths provide a safe, off-road route for the growing numbers of cyclists, in-line skaters and hikers who have decided to commute to their workplaces using alternative methods.
Bicycle RouteAn on-road route that makes use of a marked or signposted and, occasionally, a protected bicycle lane which is part of the local road system.
Rail TrailA route that follows abandoned rail lines and, sometimes, closed roads. They generally begin in an urban setting and continue past a communitys boun daries into the country-side.
This guide looks at the rail trails that have already been
completed. These are trails that have been resurfaced with hard-packed, crushed lime-stone or, in some cases, that have been paved. Rail trails are sometimes used for commut-ing, but for the most part they are multi-use recreational cor-ridors. In fact, during the sum-mer months a horse and rider are just as common a sight as snow mobiles are in winter.
Multi-Use TrailThese are the most popular trails used by cyclists today. They generally follow the above de nitions. However, some of these trails are also shared by horseback riders and, in winter, snow mobiles. In some rare cases, the trail will share a roadway with automobiles and motor cycles.
Trans Canada TrailThe Trans Canada Trail is a legacy of the Canada 125 Celebration of 1992. A prom-ise was made that intercon-nected greenways would be built across the country in an effort to unify all of its regions. Once completed, the Trans Canada Trail will be a shared-use recreational trail stretching 18,000km from the Atlantic to the Paci c, and north to the Arctic Ocean. It will accommo-date hikers, walkers, horseback riders, cyclists, cross-country skiers and, where appropriate, snowmobilers.

Rails to Trails in OntarioAs rail lines become aban-doned in Ontario commun-ities, it has been found that these trails blend with the nat-ural environment and can ful l the needs of many people. The surface of these redeveloped railbeds varies according to the character and needs of the communities through which the trail passes. Local terrain, the frequency and type of use and the availability of funds, manpower and local govern-mental support are all factors which affect the condition and maintenance of the trails.

Ontario Cycling Laws
The following laws must be observed by all cyclists in On-tario:
1. Your bicycle must have a warning device such as a bell or horn that sounds loud and clear.
2. When cycling 30min after sunrise, 30min before sunset or when the light is poor, your bicycle must have a white or amber light on the front and a red light on the rear. Also, re- ective material at least 25cm long and 2.5cm wide should be visible (white in the front and red in the back).
3. All riders under the age of 18 must wear a government-approved cycling helmet.
4. Bicycles are prohibited on expressways and freeway-type highways such as the 400 ser-ies, the Queen Elizabeth Way and on roads where no bi-cycle signs have been posted.
5. Cyclists are required to obey all traf c laws under the High-way Traf c Act.
Signals and Other Peculiar Traffi c Rules
Right Turns: In Ontario, a right turn may be made at a red traf- c light. The turn can be com-pleted if there is no oncoming traf c and it is safe to make the turn.
Single File Only: Toronto is cur-rently the only city in Ontario that has a bylaw that prohibits riding two abreast.

Cycling Etiquette
When cycling, it is important to remember that you are only an observer and should therefore respect all that Mother Nature has provided for us. The old Boy Scout adage of leaving a visited place in a better condi-tion than one found it in is an excellent way to treat our world and, more particularly, the communities that you are cycling through. After all, the impression you make will af-fect the others that follow.
Whether cycling a path in the city or a trail in the country, some cycling courtesies are expected. Direction of travel is similar to cycling on a road. That is, keep to the right-hand side of the path or trail. It is also important to yield the right of way to slow-moving trail users such as pedestrians.
Horseback riders and in-line skaters should be approached with caution, as the nature of their transportation can be un-predictable.
Safety and Courtesy
Although cycling is an inter-nationally recognised form of transportation, Canada is still a relatively young country where cycling is concerned. Over the years, Ontario has made great strides in public education and drivers are gradually becoming more aware of and consider-ate towards cyclists. Likewise, cyclists must adopt a respect-ful attitude towards cars, as well as their fellow cyclists. For example, on the less trav-elled back roads where traf c is light, it is legal to ride two abreast, but its common cour-tesy to get into single le when
Right TurnLeft Turn Stop
Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails 12
traf c approaches from the front or rear.
Use your hand signals to let others know your intentions and keep at least one bicycle length between you and the rider in front of you. This is especially true when travelling with children who may con-stantly wander off the road. If you do go off the road, ride on the shoulder for a while until you have regained con-trol, then return to the pave-ment once the way is clear. Be aware of what is going on both in front of and behind you at all times. If you nd yourself in an uncomfortable situation, always yield the right of way, take to the shoulder, walk your bike, or stop for a while until the situation improves and you are once again comfortable riding your bicycle.
What Youll Need
Types of Bicycles
Hybrid bicycles are an excel-lent choice because they often serve as an all-purpose adven-ture bike. These bicycles are essentially a cross between
a mountain bike and a road bicycle. They have cantilever-style brakes, triple chain rings, wide-range gearing and at handlebars similar to mountain bikes. On the other hand, they have somewhat larger diam-eter wheels and narrower tires. Their frames are more like those of road bikes: 72 head tube angles and 73 seat angles are common, as are 43cm or shorter chain stays.
The mountain bike is a sturdily built bicycle specially designed for off-road or rough terrain riding. Mountain bikes have at handlebars, cantilever-style brakes, triple chain rings, wide-range gearing and knobby tires approximately 5cm wide. Most mountain bikes now have a 70 to 72 head angle, 3.75cm to 5cm of fork rake, and a seat tube angle of 68 to 74. On a good road, a mountain bike is about 10% slower than a road bike. When used for touring they offer the rider stability, load carrying ability and long distance comfort. They have a long wheelbase with a gener-ous fork rake and long chain stays. The handlebars are wider than on other bikes, and there are rack-mounting bosses near the front and rear wheels.
Touring bicycles are more ro-bust versions of road bicycles and can be used on most of the bicycle paths and rail
13Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails
trails in this guide. They fea-ture heavy-duty components and construction. They offer a wide range of gears and often have triple chain rings for hill climbing. A touring bicycle is designed to carry 18 to 23kg of cargo and is suitable for most city bike paths and completed rail trails.
Accessories
Today, anything and every-thing is available. State-of-the-art nighttime lighting systems, GPS, heart rate monitors, computer odometers, myriad colourful fenders to keep you dry on rainy days and sonic horns are just a few of the items that will enhance your cycling experience. Two items that will be indispensable are a
Repair Kit
Even in the city, every cyclist should have a repair kit. However, before pack-ing a complete toolbox into your pannier, here are a few questions that might help you decide which tools to bring:
What repairs can I make myself (people, not tools, repair mechanical problems)?In what condition is my bicycle? Is it maintained regularly?Will my ride take me 10,000km from civilization? Will I be able to call a bicycle repair shop?In any case, here is a short list of basic tools you might want to consider bringing with you. a spoke wrench and the appropriate wrenches and hex keys as required by your bicycletwo tire leversa box of patches (with rubber cement, sandpaper and chalk) or a spare bicycle tubea raga pump (optional in the city)
The routes suggested in this guide rarely take you far from big urban centres, so you are not likely to be far from a bicycle mechanic. To be safe, always carry some coins to call home with, just in case you encounter a problem you can't fi x.
Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails 14
rear rack and top bags. These racks and bags are lightweight and are great for carrying a lock, your repair kit and a lunch if you are just out for the day. Riding time will also determine what type of basic sundries you should be taking along on a cycling outing. The items listed below are the bare minimum cycling accessories.
Water BottleA water bottle is one item that should always be taken, even if your planned ride lasts less than an hour. Your body should constantly be kept hy-drated. A good rule of thumb for water consumption is to drink one 500ml bottle per hour; for every 5km travelled, at least a quarter of the water in the bottle should be con-sumed. (Hint: to remove the plastic taste from newer water bottles, ll the bottle with wat-er and allow it to stand open overnight.)
HelmetsHelmets are not expensive. On the other hand, consider how much your brain is worth to you! Proper t is important for comfort and safety. A helmet must t snugly and squarely atop your head. It should not be tilted too far forward or back. In order to do the job, your helmet must be light, rigid, feature a ventilated shell and be designed to absorb shock. Also note that in On-tario, children under the age of 18 must wear a helmet.
Lights and HornsAll cyclists in Ontario fall under the auspices of the On-tario Highway Traf c Act. As indicated on p 10, cyclists are required by law to have a front and rear light activated and working 30min after sunrise and 30min before sunset.
LocksWhenever your bicycle is un-attended, lock it up. It is a good idea to lock your pan-niers as well. Never leave your wallet, camera equipment or any other valuables unattend-ed with your bicycle. They, like your bike, might prove to be just too tempting. It is therefore very important to have an anti-theft device. U-locks, especial-ly those made by Kryptonite, are the most effective locks on the market
15Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails
Bungee CordsThese extendible cords with a hook on each end are useful for attaching additional or un-expected baggage that cannot be stored in your bags. Shorter bungee cords are more effect-ive.
Safety FlagSafety ags help increase safety when transporting a child. Whether you are shar-ing the road with several other vehicles or riding on a very crowded bike path, passing becomes risky and dangerous; a triangular uorescent-orange safety ag comes in handy.
Bell or WhistleAn increasing number of cyc-lists who ride in the city or on bike paths like to announce their presence; futhermore, a bell, horn or whistle is required by law (see p 10). Bicycle bells are a good tool, and whistles transmit sound even faster while letting you keep both hands on the handlebars.
CyclometerWhen you want to know your speed, mileage, daily mile-age or average daily speed, a cyclometer is indispensable. It also allows you to keep track of pedal cadence. The number of features available depends on the model.
Seat PadsSome cyclists recognize that comfort is essential and go so far as to add a seat pad to their saddle. Its only drawback is that it can take a long time to dry.
Comfort
WeatherGlancing at the sky or tuning into weather forecasts before going for a ride will let you take off with peace of mind, since you will know the con-ditions that await you. Each cyclist can decide whether he or she wants to risk riding in wind or rain. Both of these factors can either make your ride miserable or please the
Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails 16
sensesits a matter of per-sonal preference.
When listening to weather forecasts, remember to pay attention to wind conditions. Winds often shift without warn-ing, sometimes taking on un-expected strength. The wind might have pleasant surprises in store for you at the end of the day, or cut your pace in half and even exhaust you. It is therefore preferable to calcu-late a reaction time based on forecasted winds for the route you have chosen.
If you still want to go for a ride despite the forecast, you will be able to leave with peace of mind, as you will be prepared for the bad weather.
Cycling ClothingA good pair of cycling shoes and padded cycling shorts should be mandatory pur-chases. These two items will help make your ride a more enjoyable experience. How-ever, dont go overboard with cycling-speci c clothing. A good rule of thumb is, more than ve trips during a cycling season warrant an investment in some additional, specialised clothing.
GlovesCycling gloves have many uses. In addition to absorb-ing sweat from your palms and ensuring a better grip on the
handlebars, cycling gloves pro-tect your hands from nicks and scratches suffered in falls (that we wish upon no one). They are also extremely useful for preventing numbness and back pain caused by the pressure of your weight on your arms and hands, which compresses the cubital nerve.
ShoesIf investing in a pair of cycling shoes seems like a waste of money to you, we recommend that you wear a sports shoe with a stiff sole. This way, the soles of your feet will not suf-fer from the constant pressure caused by pedalling. Remem-ber that the pedals, handle-bars and saddle are the three areas that support your body weight.
Cycling ShortsCycling shorts will not only make you look like a pro, but also provide the comfort pros enjoy. Lined with a natural or synthetic chamois which ab-sorbs sweat and protects the skin, cycling shorts ease mo-tion and protect thighs from chaf ng. They are worn with-out underwear and should be washed by hand after each out-ing. Cycling shorts also help keep your precious muscles warm. Nylon shorts with a chamois lining are commonly available on the market.
17Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails
T-shirtShort-sleeved T-shirts provide an opportunity to show your colours. Clothing made from lycra, ranging from T-shirts to womens sports bras, draws moisture away from the skin. This too is a matter of budget and personal taste.
Windbreaker The wind is a very important factor to consider when cyc-ling. Since it protects you from wind as well as from rain, a windbreaker can be one of the most useful articles of clothing to bring along, regardless of the weather.

Even on a hot summer day, an unexpected gust of wind can make your warm, sweaty body shiver from cold. Descending a hill at top speed after a strenu-ous climb can, paradoxically, be rather uncomfortable and bring on a sudden chill. When it is raining, wind can de n-itely be unpleasant, to the ex-tent that you may want to turn around and head back, espe-cially if you are sweating.
Having an additional article of clothing on hand ensures com-fort. Your choice will depend on the other accessories you have chosen to bring with you. If you are prepared to invest in a high-quality windbreaker, you might want to consider those that are specially de-signed for cyclists. They have a longer back panel with a tail that provides increased protection to your gluteus and saddle during showers.
Eyewear Sunglasses help protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays. Re-member to check the degree of protection your sunglasses provide. Before deciding not to wear sunglasses, remind your-self that they also protect your eyes from wind, dust and... ies, mosquitoes and other identi -able ying objects! Clear lens-es are extremely bene cial on overcast days.
Some Safety Considerations
Experienced cyclists like to think they know the highway safety code like the back of their hands. Being familiar with the highway safety code is as important as any of the technical skills needed to ride a bicycle. It is also essential that both you and your bike be out tted with safety considera-tions in mind. As memories
First-Aid Kit
Common sense and the vigilant respect of highway safety code regulations can prevent serious accidents. More and more cycling paths are patrolled, and the routes suggested in this guide are located near population centres, and therefore within reach of emergency services. However, here is a short list of fi rst-aid supplies to bring along on your ride, especially if you are planning a day trip:

To this list, we add two indispens-able items: some money (especially quarters) and a phone card to reach emergency services.

sometimes fade and become selective over time, here are some reminders:
Refl ectorsRe ectors are usually part of the standard equipment in-cluded with each bicycle sold on the market. Additional re- ectors on panniers or cloth-ing are useful, especially if you plan to ride in the evening.
The Cyclists VisibilityThe basic rule is to wear colourful clothing on sunny days and very bright clothing when riding at night.
PreparationAlthough most of the rail trails and bicycle paths in this book can be cycled by almost every-one, before embarking on a long tour, some physical and mental preparation should be undertaken.
The most important considera-tion for any trip is to know your equipment, meaning both your bicycle and your body.
Adjusting Your Saddle
The saddle should be parallel with the ground. Saddle manufacturers recog-nize that no two cyclists are built alike and certain models on the market are specially designed for men or women. Remember that your centre of gravity is located where your body weight rests; there is no compromise when seeking saddle, handlebar or pedal comfortTo adjust saddle-to-handlebar distance (i.e. closer or farther), keep the cranks horizontal and use a plumb bob line to move the saddle backwards or forwards until your kneecap and the pedal axle line up with the plumb bob line. Secure the saddle's position.

Make Yourself Comfortable
You must make sure you are comfortable on your bicycle. After all, you will be spen ding many hours in the saddle. Your bicycle seat and handle-bar position affects your knees, your back, your neck and your wrists. If they are not in the correct position, your trip will be more dif cult and uncom-fortable. Try adjusting your rid-ing position so that you are as upright as possible; about 75% of your weight should be on the seat and you should be able to grip the handlebars from the top. Take some time to determine your correct rid-ing position. If unsure, consult your local bicycle shop.
Know Your Bike
Learn how to complete some simple mechanical repairs. Dont rely on someone in your group coming to your rescue because problems inevitably seem to occur when you be-come separated for one rea-son or another. Again, if you are unsure, turn to your lo-cal bicycle shop for advice or refer to one of the many repair manuals that are available.
Physical Training
A little physical training is rec-ommended before embarking
on any bicycle trip, but dont go to extremes. The more often you ride your bicycle, the more comfortable your cycling ex-perience will be. This will not only help you become more familiar with your bicycle, but will enable you to build some rear end stamina!
The most effective training to prepare for cycling is... cyc-ling.
In wintertime, if the prospect of logging kilometres only to go nowhere on a stationary bike at the gym is not appeal-ing, there are other options. Cross-country skiing, skating, running or even swimming are complementary sports that work the same muscle groups that are used in cycling and also develop aerobic capacity.
If you are among those who still want to take advantage of winter to train at the gym, it is preferable to increase your cardiovascular capacity gradually according to your personal tness level. Focus weight training on quadri ceps, glutes, as well as back and shoulder muscles to improve your cycling form.
As soon as the weather im-proves, you should resume cycling gradually on a regu-lar basis, steadily increasing the distance and intensity of your rides. This is the time to
21Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails
practice spinning as much as possible to ensure good ex-ibility and improve technique (see p 23). The main goal is to increase pleasure and reduce discomfort.
Stretching
Stretching before and after your rides will ensure better conditioning. Even if you cycle regularly, spending a few min-utes stretching will help keep you exible, increase your muscles capacity to recover, and reduce discomfort and the risk of injury.
Stretching techniques remain the same regardless of the type of physical activity. Hold a stretch (without bouncing) for at least 30 seconds. You should not feel sharp pain as you stretch; pain does not equal gain. In fact, you may even injure yourself by want-ing to do too much. Instead, start with a lighter stretch, as it will intensify as you breathe in deeply. You will feel your stretch deepen on its own.
It is especially important that cyclists stretch their neck, shoulders, glutes, quadriceps and knees.
Pain caused by exerting a muscle beyond its limit will be felt 24 to 48hrs after exercising and will peak between 48 to 72hrs after the activity. Should
you develop cramps over the course of your bike ride, stop exercising. If possible, mas-sage the heart area, and drink and eat a little to recharge the depleted muscle. Good train-ing, proper stretching and a healthy diet will help prevent such nasty surprises.
Diet and Nutrition
Numerous books have been written on this subject. Fresh fruit is a must and can be com-plemented by granola bars, as these items will help to keep your energy level up through-out the day. Most important is water! Good health demands that you keep your body sat-urated with uids. Just remem-ber, dehydration is a cyclists greatest concern. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Equipment Check
Before leaving, do a complete circle-check of your bicycle and equipment. Look at your tires, spokes, rack bolts and brakes. An early morning start is always recommended. The sun is low in the sky, the tem-peratures are cooler and thus
Ontarios Bike Paths and Rail Trails 22
more comfortable for riding. An early morning departure is even more important if you are camping, as it always seems to take more time than expected to break camp, repack your gear and get going. Review your maps before setting out; never try to read a map while riding. Here are some basics to cover before heading off for the day:
TiresTire pressure should be checked before every ride. An air-pressure gauge will indicate (in kg/cm) whether tires are in ated to the correct pressure. Checking tires for small cracks (resembling old paper) and wear near the brakes is also a good idea.
BrakesBrakes are without a doubt among the most important parts of your bicycle, after the pedals, of course! Before every ride, make sure your brakes do not squeak. You should also
ensure that brake pads are parallel to and at equal dis-tance from the rim. This is also a good opportunity to check whether your wheels are prop-erly aligned and secured to the frame.
Brake cables should be loose in the cable housing. A few drops of lubricant at the cable housings opening and a few repeated applications can prevent brakes from sticking. Rusted brake cables should be replaced immediately.
DerailleursRiding slowly over a short dis-tance will enable you to check whether your derailleurs are working properly. Your chain should not skip and gear shift-ing should be smooth. Using an Allen key, tighten the free-wheel, which should bring the sprockets together as close as possible. Cable tension should also be checked.
Oil or Grease?
Lubricants are often used to ensure the proper functioning of mechanical parts.

Increasing Your Efficiency
PedallingYour pedal stroke will be more ef cient if you place the sole of your foot on the pedal with the big toe slightly overlapping the pedal axle and keep your knees parallel to the frame. Toeclips further increase ped-alling ef ciency.
Even though toeclips may re-quire some getting used to, they quickly become indis-pensable as they stabilize your feet, especially when pedalling
standing up. The double action of pushing down with one foot as you pull up with the other allows for a more ef cient, uid motion, enabling you to maximize each pedal stroke by using half the energy. Proper use of toeclips is very import-ant when climbing.
Spinning
Mastering the art of spinning will move your pedalling ef- ciency up a notch. Spinning consists of a smooth, continu-ous cadence between 65 and 85 revolutions per minute (rpm), and enables you to at-tain cruising speed and mini-

mize muscular effort. Coupled with essential toeclips, spinning continuously helps prevent dis-comfort and knee pain.
Cycling with ChildrenCycling with children of any age can be a very rewarding experience. Listed below are some suggestions that will help make any ride even more enjoyable.
1. Make sure they know the rules of the road and traf c signs.
2. Make sure they are familiar with their bicycle.
3. Make sure the bike is equipped with a working front light, rear light and bell (an odometer is optional, but can be helpful when setting tar-gets).
4. Make sure they keep at least one bicycle length between them and the rider in frontyoung eyes tend to wander when experiencing new sights and sounds.
5. Set time goals for stopsthis will keep them pedalling in anticipation of an upcoming stop.
6. Provide them with a set of panniers (large or small, no
matter) so that they will feel that they are contributing to the cycling adventure by carry-ing their own gear.
7. Provide a disposable camera so they can create their own memories of the cycling trip.
8. Allow them time to play; pack a card game, a frisbee or a small toy.
9. Involve them in pre-trip preparations and map reading. Ask them from time to time what direction they are travel-ling when en route.
10. Relay any local information you have gatheredit will help to entertain them, keep their minds off the chore at hand and may lead to questions that together you can nd the an-swers to.
Lastly, when choosing a tour for your children, take into consideration that they will require more breaks and the average speed will be lower. When doing your pre-tour cal-culations on the length of your day, remember to add at least 1 to 2hrs.

Southwestern Ontario
Southwestern Ontario stretches eastward from Wind-sor to Woodstock, the dairy capital of Canada, and from the shipping port of Goderich in the north to the city of Leamington, in the south.
Situated between Lake Erie and Lake Huron, south-western Ontario is a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery of vast expanses of fresh water.
The sparkling blue waves that delight beach-loving vacationers today were equally attractive in the past to the Aboriginal people who settled and prospered in this area.
Fascinating tourist attractions, most notably around London, trace the history of these First Nations. However, this fertile region is also near the naviga-tion routes that were vital to the early colonists who also decided to settle here.
The colonists founded little villages that eventually became lovely cities, such as London and St. Marys. Some of these towns are outstanding for the excep-tional cultural initiatives they have undertaken.
Stratford is one of these, with its famous Shakespeare festival that attracts huge crowds every summer.
