I actually think I am going to be moving to my bicycle Utopia when I move up to Canada to be with my girlfriend. She lives in Burlington, Ontario and the riding there is simply fantastic (see my Canada thread). The Waterfront Trail to Niagara-On-The-Lake is particularly wonderful. So they have winter. I live in New Jersey and we have winter too....just nothing very good to go along with it. Actually the roads around here aren't too bad once you leave the city (Trenton area), but the traffic is abysmal.
