Burlington to Niagara Falls - Rural Ontario Bike Tour - Day 1 of 9
This video summarizes day 1 of my 9 day solo bicycle trip through South-Western Ontario, Canada. All of the clips in the video were filmed on Saturday, May 19, 2018.
Starting in Downtown Toronto I rode to Union Station where I then caught a GO Train to Burlington. From there I joined the Waterfront Trail and followed in through Hamilton and Grimsby before heading south to pass through the Niagara Region's farmland. I then passed through Lincoln, Vineland, and Jordan, before reaching the City of St Catherines. I climbed up the Niagara Escarpment through the City of Thorold, and passed under the Welland Canal via the Thorold Tunnel which I really enjoyed! From there I followed country roads until I reach the Niagara Falls KOA on Lundys Lane which was my campground for the night.
Strava for Day 1:
The bike I used for this trip is a New York made Linear Recumbent Bike which I believe is from around 2004. I carried my gear in 2 Giant Waterproof Panniers, and mounted my tent and sleeping pad on the top of the rack.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Please COMMENT and subscribe!
Thanks for watching.

On The Trail - Greater Niagara Circle Route
The Greater Niagara Circle Route Trails System is over 140 km of mostly off-road, paved trails suitable for walking, cycling or rollerblading. Motorized vehicles are not permitted. The paved trail is mostly 3 metres wide and passes through urban centres, downtowns, the Niagara Escarpment, waterfronts, and rural/agricultural areas.
The system includes the Welland Canals Trail which passes alongside parts of the existing and previous canals from St. Catharines on Lake Ontario (north end) through Thorold and Welland to Port Colborne on Lake Erie (south end). The Friendship Trail goes between Port Colborne and Fort Erie (east end). From Fort Erie the Niagara River Recreation Trail follows the Niagara River, through the city of Niagara Falls, to Niagara-on-the-Lake (north end). The Waterfront Trail follows Lakeshore Road from Niagara-on-the-Lake to St. Catharines (west end). Trail mileage markers are on the trail around the circle starting at Old Fort Erie (km. 0) and proceeding in a counter-clockwise direction.

Welland canal
First time in the Welland Canal. It use to be closed down in 2012 because of the government stopping funding because of a injury. ATV club bought the land and now is legal to ride. Very muddy and rutted out. Good practice for mud water and ruts. get the power washer ready for the mess your going to bring home!!

Fala galera, tudo bem com vocês?
Vocês já ouviram falar de St Catharines, no Canadá?
A cidade é pouco conhecida, apesar de pertencer a Região de Niagara (famosa Catarata que divide o Canadá dos Estados Unidos) o turismo aqui ainda está se desenvolvendo.
Aproveitei para fazer uma caminhada no centro da cidade e mostrar pra vocês um pouco dessa cidadezinha que parece uma maquete escolar.
Espero que gostem :)

Welland Ontario to Fort Erie, via Friendship Trail bike trail gopro
I made this video mostly just as a scouting report for anyone who's wondering what the bike paths are like on this route.
The first half shows the bike trail south out of Welland; the second half shows the Friendship Trail running east-west between Port Colborne and Fort Erie. The section between Niagara Falls and Fort Erie is really nice too (Niagara Parkway) ..it's essentially good shoulders on a street people know bikes travel on.
Don't go too far into Niagara Falls (on bike) though ... we headed east to Welland along McLeod/49, which is really urban, but it's only about 5 k of urban. If I were to do the loop again, I'd use Lyons Creek/Montrose98/Chippawa Creek to go west.
The whole loop is about 100km.
