The Strategic Services Branch of Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PFR) is developing a City-Wide Mountain Biking Strategy. The Strategy will examine the growing number and use of informal natural surface trails and stunt areas through our ravines and parks. The goal of the strategy is to determine the most effective way to provide recreational opportunities for off-road cyclists, while balancing environmental protection and safety concerns.

For more details, see the attached PDF file

The development of a City-Wide Mountain Biking Strategy will take place from November 2007 to March 2008. PFR will hold meetings with stakeholders over the next few months. PFR invites mountain bikers, trail users, recreation associations, environmental organizations, Toronto Region Conservation staff and City of Toronto staff to become involved.

How to use a Bike Box. (Streetfilms)

This arrived from my good friend Clarence in New York. They are putting in Bike Boxes all over town.

Well, you'll be happy to know that in Toronto, the city is 'studying' the idea.

Here's a posting of occasional cycling news from across the country, and sometimes interesting things from around the world. If you have a worthy piece, please pass it on to me.
