Toronto Biking

April 28, 2007Route Map
3 of us went on a long [tag]biking[/tag] trip spanning about 46km. We started from York University, went west from Steeles Av. until we hit the [tag]Humber[/tag] river tributary after Islington Av. From there was a fun ride south along the river, thru the forests and parks, right upto [tag]Lake Ontario[/tag]. We then went east along the coast into the city and finished at Union Station. So we covered the north-south extremes of [tag]Toronto[/tag] ;)

It was a pleasant weather. Somehow I like mildly cloudy sky:

Spring was just arriving. The trees looked more brown than green:

People fishing near the Old Mill Bridge. Later, the trail passes under the subway station, it looks fantastic.

Finally we crisscrossed under a maze of freeways and Go Train lines to reach the Humber River Bridge. This is the point where the river merges into Lake Ontario:

Any guesses how we went back to the university? Subway and Bus…! Thats right, we are allowed to carry bikes :)

    Interesting pics.. I have seen those canadian geese here too.. :)
    I think biking around is the best way to visit new places(next to running).. And if you have a group of guys doing that, even more fun..
