There is a nice bike path/route on the Canadian side from Fort Erie to the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Its about 25-30 miles one way, so an easy round trip in a day. The path just before the falls is next to the river and is very interesting to see the water speed increasing and the mist rising in the distance. I've ridden that path twice and each time its a fun way to explore the area and avoid all the crazy drivers around the Falls. Also, Niagara-on-the-Lake is a very nice town with a historical fort and some nice restaurants.
I've ridden from Buffalo to Niagara-Falls and from Fort Erie to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, and the Canadian side is far nicer......in fact the Canadian view of the falls is far more spectacular and the whole area is better kept and has better attractions than the US side. So if you are coming from the US side, bring your passport and see the falls from Canada.
