If you are really looking forward to the summer months so you can go cycling, don't delay, today is the day! It's a fun and active way to burn calories and you can spend a day exploring the city and keeping fit. When it gets warmer you may even go on day trips outside of Toronto.
For myself cycling is my preferred method of transportation. I only take other forms of transportation when cycling is too impractical.
If you live in Toronto check the local bicycle trails online or get a cycling map from Toronto City Hall. The Toronto Public Library, community and civic centers also have hard copies of these maps in their locations.
Before going for a Cycling Adventure remember to do the following:
#1. Take your bike to a Toronto bicycle mechanic for a tune up and possibly get new brakes fitted. Or fix the bicycle yourself if you know how and burn some calories because fixing bicycles counts as exercise. :)
#2. Consider replacing the helmet (especially if it is getting old) or other safety equipment.
#3. Find your lock or buy a new bicycle lock. The heavier duty the better.
#4. If you have battery lights replace the batteries or lightbulbs.
#5. If you have mirrrors adjust the mirrors as they may have been bumped/moved over the winter, or purchase mirrors if you are the type of cyclist who likes having mirrors.
Have fun hitting the trails!
