Toronto

That's in Canada you know.

Does anyone on here live there/ride there much?
I'm apparently nipping over for a few days to do some work at the end of May
and I'd rather not take my bike with me but would very much like to do some
riding there, so I'd be interested in places that hire bikes out (reasonably
good ones) in the good parts.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

samuri.

When you get there, just say and I'll try to hook you up with some people
who can take you on some awesome riding. Make sure to get some riding in the
Don Valley if you're going to be in the downtown region.

In the case of Toronto, it would be a hockey mom, not much soccer going on
there...

I haven't lived in Toronto for 10 years so may be out of date, but here are
some ideas (assuming you want singletrack). Ask your contacts when you are
there, perhaps they can direct you better:
Don Valley from Overlea Blvd (Leaside) past brickyards to Balfour Park
Rouge Valley Pickering (just east of city)
Hardwood Hills (Barrie - north of city)
Kelso/Hilton Falls (west of city)
Forks of the Credit Park (NW of city)

plus lots of singletrack I haven't got a clue about, maybe others can help.
plus many miles of paved multi-use stuff. Actually the Don Valley paved
trail from Sunnybrook Hospital down to Skydome and then out Lakeshore Blvd
towards Humber Bay past the Exhibition grounds is a scenic ride.

Have fun

will be readily available.

When end of May? I'd love to come up and buy you a beer, but the
scheduling may be tricky. Look for an email.
