The riding in this area's pretty good as motorists and cyclists get along fairly well. I routinely cycle from Toronto to Burlington/Hamilton and back along Lakeshore - it's a nice, fast route. Downtown Toronto is a different story, as it's everyone for himself. You won't regret coming here, and probably will grow disillusioned with the US.
Actually Burlington is the area where she lives now...she laughed when the first question I asked her was how the riding was up there. I have no problem with a last year's model, as my LeMond is an '04. I have always liked Canada and Canadians, and have grown a bit disillusioned with the USA already, for many reasons....too many to mention here.
Thank you for the help. I truly appreciate it.
