http://twowheelpoli.blogspot.com/2016/12/beyond-ajax-cycling-in-whitby-and-oshawa.html

However, the Region has six other municipalities; those being Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Uxbridge, Brock, and Scugog. Thanks to a Strava map provided by Joe Arruda, I checked two more municipalities off my to-do list with a 29-kilometre ride from Whitby to Oshawa GO stations on Sunday, November 13. Icycle racks at Whitby GO station.

Two Wheeled Politics: December 2016
http://twowheelpoli.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
December 30, 2016. Pedalling Back Full Circle. To see what has changed since I last biked there in 2006. Downtown Moncton from City Hall pedway. The bike I used is single speed with a suspension fork, disc brakes, and 26” × 2.4” tires (660mm × 61mm). While the tires are too small for a fatbike [1]. More like an oversized mountain bike), it does a good job handling snow on unplowed trails and climbing snow mounds, but is not what I would use for cycle commuting. Northwest Trail along Millennium Boulevard.
