bike path

Starting from the Jacques Cartier bridge, we biked a loop of Montreal via La Piste de la Riveraine on the South Shore, the St. Lawrence Seaway dyke, and the Ice Bridge! An amazing ride thanks to the wonderful cycling infrastructure in Montreal.

A classic Montreal bike ride along the Lachine Canal! On Brompton bicycles, of course.

We hadn’t yet done a big bike trip this year, so when a friend asked if we wanted to bike all the way to Paradise Beach in Ajax, 50km east of Toronto, we said sure!

We cycled east from Hilo to the beaches in one afternoon at a leisurely pace with lots of breaks for sightseeing, relaxing and watching the turtles. Yes, the reward for making it to the end of Kalanianaole Ave is turtles!

As we cycled closer to the more touristy area of the Yucatan Peninsula (the east coast), the roads became bigger and busier. We couldn’t take quiet state roads anymore; it was time to hit the highway!

A beautiful ride on the Waterfront Trail from Toronto to Port Credit reminds us that there are lots of great cycling trips to be discovered in our home province.

After walking around Izamal to see the Convento and the Kinich-Kakmó pyramid, we cycled the scenic route to Chichen Itzá… which dead-ended at a goat path with actual goats.

We cycled from Merida to the Maya ruins of Dzibilchaltún, stopping halfway to check out the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya.

Tips, a time-lapse video, and a map on how to cycle from downtown Cancun to the ferry terminal to Isla Mujeres.

Though Cancun lacks cycling infrastructure, we find the best bike routes to the beach.
