The Dog-shaped tour of Toronto

Mon, 06/05/2017 - 23:04 by herb

I was rooting through my old files and came across the 115 km route I mapped out around Toronto almost a decade ago (pdf). (The dog shape is purely coincidental). I was working at the City that summer as a Cycling Ambassador—mostly we went to events and gave out maps and info but we got a brief chance to create our own promotional event. I worked on this route. However, because of liability and insurance reasons I never did run a tour while working for the City.

Which street is worse? Wherein I compare Bloor and Queen for collisions

Thu, 03/10/2016 - 14:27 by herb

@RespectTO on Twitter claimed that "Bloor has the worst rate for collisions in #biketo. Safe passage now. #topoli #BloorBikeLanes".

Wed, 01/28/2009 - 13:22 by herb

A Wikipedia page on Cycling in Toronto has popped up (thanks to yours truly). With insufficient reference to cycling in the Transportation in Toronto page it's good to get a dedicated page for cycling information in Toronto.

City of Toronto's Mountain Biking Strategy

Fri, 01/11/2008 - 08:31 by anthony

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.
