Cycling Toronto's Pathways Cycling along scenic bicycle pathways is one of the joys of living in or visiting Toronto. On a bicycle you have the freedom to explore peaceful wooded valleys, picturesque riverbanks, treeframed creeks or the beautiful Lake Ontario shoreline. You're traveling slow enough to hear the birds, smell the forest and absorb the tranquility of Toronto's natural areas, yet going fast enough to feel the exhilaration of the wind blowing in your face. A bicycle ride is an enjoyable outing to share with friends or with your family. Most routes have picnic tables and some even have barbecues. Bicycling is also great exercise. Toronto's bike path network lets you ride off-street routes almost continuously west to the Humber River Valley (tour 11) and east to Taylor Creek (tour 14). This book is your guide to enjoying Toronto's best off-street bicycle paths.

Each route description includes how to reach the start of the trail. It guides you along the path, pointing out details of the area's history and wildlife, and tells you how to get back from the end of the route. Detailed, easy-to-read maps accompany each route description. Don't let this book sit on the shelf. Get on your bike and experience the pleasures of cycling Toronto's pathways!.
