Suburban Cycling

Guest post: Biking for Recreation vs. Transportation: The suburban cycling experience

This is a guest blog post, originally written by Laura Fylyshtan, volunteer writer, for pointA.


Not far from my house is the lovely multi-use West Dean Trail. A gently winding path tucked between residential neighbourhoods, this trail connects to the Eglinton West Trail which in turn connects to the Mid-Humber Trail. As far as recreation goes, it is possible for me to cycle for quite some time along safe and enjoyable routes. I am very fortunate.

There is a lot of cycling infrastructure throughout the city; sometimes in places you might not expect!
