Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Some beautiful photos here. Absolutely breathtaking. Also, it shows, in most cases, that US roads are a in a whole lot better state than UK roads

Just some awesome roads, nice and empty. I would have to bike far up north and out of the GTA to find long stretches of empty roads.

This thread makes me want to ride in Canada. I took a road trip there two years ago and noted how there were a lot fewer other cars on the roads, too. Nice images all around.

Nice! I was up there on Saturday too. But there was no "open road ahead" when I was riding in the afternoon. The traffic was almost as bad as in leaf-peeping season...

We call this stretch of road the dragonback, for the short rolling hills about 8-10km worth

A couple shots from today. Had a fall on Saturday so this was my first time back out. Lots of butterflies. Assuming that will go away with time. I had to replace my handlebar tape and went with a celeste blue. I still do not know how you guys get your photos so big. I have no problems on other sites -- just this one. Oh, well. Keep the pics coming. I need to plan my next bike vacation. :-D

There's plenty of quiet rural roads for you between TO and Barrie.

Started riding out of the Front Royal K-Mart at 7:00 am sharp. Very little traffic. It was my first time riding on Skyline. Loved it! Went to Hogback Mtn (milepost 21) and back to Front Royal.
