I never went downtown much on my bike unless it was along the Lakeshore. I can't imagine biking in the core. I don't even like driving in it ;) Since I did most of my biking in Centennial Park and along the Etobicoke Creek/Mississauga border those are the only areas I am familiar with. I think there are supposed to be some cool trails by the Don River. The friend who put me up to all this told me about <a href="http://www.out-there.com/ton01mtb.htm" rel="nofollow">Out There</a> today and they list the main spots in Toronto, even if they are not that close to you. <strong>Charlesolp</strong>: those Trek bikes look totally sick. They are also totally out of my pricerange!! I'm hoping that I can find the proper tires in my parents garage for the bike I have stored with my brother right now (presently using road slicks) and then get it fitted and tuned for the season. Since Windsor is flat flat flat and I won't be going home a lot this fall I can't justify that kind of purchase. So pretty though... and thanks for the well wishes :) <strong>Underseen</strong>: yeah, that is the pricerange I might be willing to deal with! I can take the money that would have been spent on hockey and use it towards a bike that I will, hopefully, ride all year long. <3 snow. LifeOnEight, that’s a good question!

I cant afford the lightweight expensive bikes, and usually fair along quite well with a 200$ version.

I am training for a 24 hour race next year. I have one mountain bike right now and will buy another a month or so before the race. I am riding an older aluminum Trek 8000 hardtail for training and plan to buy a Trek Fuel EX 7 due to financial constraints. Don't overlook the Specialized Stumpjumper and the Trek Women specific bikes, (they are supposed to have better geometry for womens body/legs height proportions.) good luck and great riding!

By the time I'd bike to anywhere "interesting" I'd be pooped. I guess I'll have to rent a car to go biking -- ironic, isn't it! Any suggestions for any beginner, yet scenic, trails?
