I'm a little late posting this, but I have to catch up on all the cool stuff I missed when I was on vacation.

Val over at Dodgeville has a great post up about riding the BikeTrain to Niagara, if anyone is interested in what it's like:

Risa and I rode the inaugural Bike Train to Niagara Falls yesterday. We joined dozens of passengers in loading our bikes into the baggage car for the regularly-scheduled Saturday morning train from Union Station. Some, like us, were just tootling around town for the day. Others were staying for a night or two, heading into the U.S., or cycling all the way back to Toronto.

Two hours after we got underway, following a relaxing train ride through the Golden Horseshoe, we arrived fresh and ready for an afternoon of cycling around Niagara. We had a picnic lunch, rode along the Niagara Parkway to Queenston Heights, took a tour at the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station, and generally lazed about for the day.

The last weekend of the BikeTrain pilot project (Aug. 25-26) is coming soon, so get your tickets... it sounds like the pilot has been popular.
