I recently rode from Toronto Airport to the Buffalo-Depew Amtrak train station in New York, both ways. Spending the night in Hamilton in twice in two different motels for under seventy dollars. Went down the Niagara river to the falls, and, then across the Peace Bridge into Buffalo. Noneventful trip. Flew in from London Gatwick on Skyservice on the cheap. They were kind to my bike. Packed in a box from London, and, wrapped in cling wrap from Toronto. About 230 kilometres one way. Going to do it again in August. After the trip, I reward myself on the Amtrak sleeper compartment and a nice breakfast in the restaurant car. Cheaper than flying to the "states".
