As far as road quality is concerned, yes. It desperately needs to be repaved in many sections. They repaved Danforth near where it meets Kingston Road (just past Vic Park I believe) and it's nice and smooth to ride on (went on there yesterday). The one thing about cycling on Finch and Yonge is that I get used to loud noises and lots of traffic, which is helpful, I find, when doing tours. Seems more relaxing then because I'm already used to it and don't let it get to me.
