Ah, beautiful Toronto! (BTW, the name comes from an Iroquois word, meaning "stick in the mud".)
I prefer the translation "stick in the a$$", which describes the attitude of most Torontonians!
There are some nice usable paths down near the CN grounds, along the lake shore. Downtown traffic, however, is chaotic, and there are those damn streetcar tracks to watch out for, too.
They are deathtraps when it rains and in the Winter especially. When there is a covering of snow, the trick is to look out for an overhead wire (which supplies the electrical power for the streetcar) to determine whether you are riding across/along tracks. They get me at least once a year though!
One of these days, I'm going to do a circle of lake Ontario. I dread the part from about Oakville, all the way to Ajax, though.
Don't you mean from Hamilton to Oshawa?
