In case you didn't catch it on the Spacing Wire a couple weeks ago, a BikeTrain is coming (and going) between the Niagara region and Toronto!
I've never biked in Niagara, but it seems to be a very popular cycling destination... so with this BikeTrain starting up, my wife and I may plan a trip sometime this summer, and I think the Niagara Region Bike Map may come in very handy.
The Toronto-Niagara Bike Train is a new sustainable tourism and transportation initiative that will introduce bike racks onboard VIA Rail Canada service between Toronto and the Niagara Region. The Pilot Year of the Bike Train service will be launching in June 2007, running on a limited schedule until September 2007. Pending a successful Pilot Year, it is anticipated that the service will be expanded in subsequent years.
Bike Train tickets and getaway packages will be available for purchase beginning April 24, 2007. Approximate cost for travel on the Bike Train between Toronto to Niagara Falls will be $59.00 round-trip including taxes. One-way tickets will also be available.
