Short, scenic, & full of surprises. 🌳🚴‍♂️🕳️ #HamOnt's #EramosaKarst Features Trail loops through forest paths, past sinkholes and crevices — Starting and ending at Pottruff Cave. Yes, it’s bikeable. And yes, it’s worth it. 📹Watch: youtu.be/91WIyy2x3x0 #Cycling #TrailRide

Yes, it’s bikeable. And yes, it’s worth it.

🚴‍♂️Cycling the outer trails of #EramosaKarst — wide meadows, bumpy sections, and a landscape nearly lost to development. Good thing they stopped blasting💥when they did. Now we get to ride it. 📺Watch: youtu.be/9mcrnjOvAAM #HamOnt #Cycling #TrailRiding #UrbanNature

🚴‍♂️ This cycling loop in #HamOnt's Upper #StoneyCreek looks perfect. Tree-lined medians, bike lanes, buffer zones... But is it actually safe? We rode the Paramount/Winterberry Loop to find out. 📹 youtu.be/DeO39vPdTN0 #UrbanCycling #BikeHamilton #CyclingInfrastructure

🚴Trail-hopping across Upper Stoney Creek using a safer alternative route. Ride smarter! Skip the unprotected bike lanes on Highland Road. 📺Check it out: youtu.be/MoqXcR2CmHc #HamOnt #CyclingHamilton #UrbanCycling

🚲Cycling #Brantford from South to North We follow the #WayneGretzkyTrail. A multi-use path through the city with real potential & real problems. Slip lanes, busy intersections & too few connections, but still one of Brantford’s better routes. 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/Qq84x6pexkY

It’s part of the #HamOnt–#Brantford #RailTrail… But it starts on Mohawk St, crosses Birkett Ln 3 times & twists sharply through farm fields like no rail line normally would. The km markers say one thing. The layout says another. 📺Watch: youtu.be/TrUKca4-_S0 #OntarioTrails

🚴‍♂️ #Brantford’s amazing #trailnetwork does connect, but only if you stick to long detours. Want a more direct route? GOOD LUCK. Without better wayfinding, you're zigzagging through awkward links. 📺 youtu.be/e_DHJ2pE8Q0 #CyclingAdvocacy #BikeInfrastructure #WayfindingFail

If you’re building MASSIVELY overengineered intersections, at least make them PROTECTED. #Brantford’s #VMPTrail crosses slip lanes and wide roads and cyclists get a dismount sign. 📺 WATCH: youtu.be/_9TUrcFksIY #CyclingInfrastructure #OntarioTrails #HamOnt #Ramble
