Ride Notes

Bike Maps are available in Port Colborne – just up the Welland Canal Trail at Pedal Bike Shop. For comfort and safety, always bring along a Niagara Region Bicycling Map or print outs.
Also, please print beforehand the Waterfront Trail Maps – Niagara (Green Trail #1), to follow between Port Colborne and Niagara Falls.
Recommended – for riders comfortable with one-day 70 kms distance. The route is almost perfectly flat. Strong cyclists can ride from Port Colborne to Fort Erie to Niagara Falls somewhat easily in one day – so long as they keep a steady pace and an eye on the time.
Arrive early – at Toronto’s new Union Station Bus Terminal, located at the corner of Bay St & Lakeshore Blvd. on the 2nd floor – to get your bus ticket.
Bikes are not allowed on double-decker buses, but are allowed on single level motor coaches. Ask the driver to store it/them in the rear bus bay, away from the luggage. Bring a bungee cord to attach it under the bus if you like.
