我们爱走路，更爱骑车，因为有速度。飞驰之中，忘却琐事，畅快随意。几年之中，单车骑游，除了多伦多市中心，安大略湖滨，湖心岛等，东边到了千岛湖国家公园和魁北克省的翠湖山庄，西边到了汉密尔顿和美加边境的尼亚加拉瀑布。
- 单车：老旧山地车，沉重，但也有提升锻炼负荷的好处！
- 路况：Paved hiking/cycling专用道。尽量不走机动车路。
- 目的：严格遵循业余骑手的准则，休闲为主，看景，健身，吃喝。
- 路线：本文附7个多伦多周边的骑程供参考。
年年景色似曾相识，岁岁感受如遇故人。
多伦多市中心的湖滨人造沙滩Sugar Beach
在远方有诗意，在身边有你。。。安大略湖滨Martin Goodman Trail。
安详宁静的安大略湖边，多伦多电视塔CN Tower遥相呼应。

偶遇Ontario Place的三项铁人赛事
人，水，天：各自有别，相容平和。
乘轮渡把车子骑到湖心岛Central Island
千岛湖边的小镇 Gananoque，希望像那对老人那么样子地变老。。。

吃喝集锦#1：湖滨人气酒馆Amsterdam BrewHouse，来杯啤酒！
吃喝集锦#2：任性享受一把加拿大甜点BeaverTails，爱不够！ 话说beaver(海狸)是加拿大的象征， 不信可以看看5分钱的硬币。
吃喝集锦#3：浓香和阳光的协奏，湖滨咖啡馆Lavazza Café
吃喝集锦#4：本土啤酒坊Steam Whistle
吃喝集锦#5：留给我们美好记忆的冰淇淋批发店(只限夏季营业)，量大价低好吃！多年前移民落地多伦多，住在附近公寓楼，夏天这里是女儿的大爱。现在偶尔进城，都要绕道这里，买了冰淇淋拍照发给女儿看。地址就在照片上：2861 Danforth Ave, Toronto
几乎每一个北美的城市，都不难发现自行车和山地车专用线路。沿着湖边，沿着河边，沿着废弃的铁路线，完全是off road的，不用和机动车一起公用道路。比如安大略湖的Water Front Trail，比如魁北克省的滑雪胜地翠湖山庄Mont Tremblant，比如首都渥太华的Ottawa River Pathway，比如汉密尔顿的Hamilton to Brantford Rail Trail。
