The Rambling Hamiltonian

🚲 #Brantford’s #bikelanes exist, but are they actually safe? 🚫 Cars parked in the #contraflowlane ❌ No #wayfinding at key connections 🚧 Inconsistant layout changes This North/South route looks good on paper, but in reality it's a mess! 📺WATCH: youtu.be/qzBVXYw5zj8

@SjamieIt Love this dsesign!

Ottawa needs way more streets like this.

#Brantford’s Shellard Lane sidepath is missing from all maps and every road crossing has a different design. It could be a great connector... if people even knew it existed. 📺 WATCH: youtu.be/Vfn9apIxz-0 #CyclingInfrastructure #HamOnt #Ramble

If you’re building MASSIVELY overengineered intersections, at least make them PROTECTED. #Brantford’s #VMPTrail crosses slip lanes and wide roads and cyclists get a dismount sign. 📺 WATCH: youtu.be/_9TUrcFksIY #CyclingInfrastructure #OntarioTrails #HamOnt #Ramble

The LE&N TRAIL might not have pavement like the nearby TH&B, but it still gets you to MOUNT PLEASANT and its beautiful NATURE PARK 🌳 If you want a quieter ride with solid scenery, this is the route. 📺 youtu.be/APCgp6HdK4g #Brantford #BrantCounty #OntarioTrails

🚴‍♂️ #Brantford’s #EastWard bike loop links neighbourhoods, jobs & schools w/decent infrastructure But the intersections? That’s where it breaks down The connections between routes still need work 📺 youtu.be/q6_5TmBbHT8 #CyclingAdvocacy #BikeInfrastructure #CompleteStreets

🚴‍♂️ Could this be #Ontario's LONGEST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE? #Brantford’s D’Aubigny Creek & Oakhill Trails offer scenic riding, quiet parks, and one massive crossing over the #GrandRiver. 📺 youtu.be/eRazULak0SM #CyclingOntario #BikeInfrastructure #TrailNetwork #ScenicCycling

🚲 Disconnected by Design? #Brantford’s painted #bikelanes exist... But they rarely connect. This ride through #WestBrant shows how good infrastructure fails without smart planning and clear connections. 📺 youtu.be/7ECYU8qdQBA #BikeInfrastructure #CyclingAdvocacy

🚴‍♂️ #Brantford’s amazing #trailnetwork does connect, but only if you stick to long detours. Want a more direct route? GOOD LUCK. Without better wayfinding, you're zigzagging through awkward links. 📺 youtu.be/e_DHJ2pE8Q0 #CyclingAdvocacy #BikeInfrastructure #WayfindingFail

Four lanes. Barely any cars. No bike lanes? Dunsdon Street in #Brantford is the poster child for car-first planning that no longer makes sense. 📺 youtu.be/LFSTbuT3WcM #BikeInfrastructure #UrbanCycling #CompleteStreets #CyclingAdvocacy #StreetsForEveryone

It’s part of the #HamOnt–#Brantford #RailTrail… But it starts on Mohawk St, crosses Birkett Ln 3 times & twists sharply through farm fields like no rail line normally would. The km markers say one thing. The layout says another. 📺Watch: youtu.be/TrUKca4-_S0 #OntarioTrails

🚲Cycling #Brantford from South to North We follow the #WayneGretzkyTrail. A multi-use path through the city with real potential & real problems. Slip lanes, busy intersections & too few connections, but still one of Brantford’s better routes. 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/Qq84x6pexkY

🚴‍♂️ Over 30km of pure trail riding. No highways. No traffic. Just a quiet ride from #HamOnt to #Brantford through forests, fields, and small towns. 📺Watch: youtu.be/txtj1MwWqAg #CyclingOntario #BikeTrails #RailTrail #ExploreByBike

Stone Church Rd has🚴‍♂️bike lanes & drivers that can't stay in their lane Limeridge Rd is quiet, calm & surprisingly connected thanks to trails that link🔗the gaps A broken road that works better than a busy one. 📺 youtu.be/g8D2kzGCOTs #HamOnt #CyclingHamilton #UrbanCycling

🚴Trail-hopping across Upper Stoney Creek using a safer alternative route. Ride smarter! Skip the unprotected bike lanes on Highland Road. 📺Check it out: youtu.be/MoqXcR2CmHc #HamOnt #CyclingHamilton #UrbanCycling

Cruising through Upper Stoney Creek’s bike lanes 🚴‍♂️ From Echovalley, Isaac Brock & more! We explore a growing cycling corridor with a few quirks along the way. 📍 #HamOnt ▶️Watch: youtu.be/AbChb2fmAIc #BikeHamilton #UrbanCycling #CyclingOntario #StoneyCreek #RealWorldCycling

🚴‍♂️ This cycling loop in #HamOnt's Upper #StoneyCreek looks perfect. Tree-lined medians, bike lanes, buffer zones... But is it actually safe? We rode the Paramount/Winterberry Loop to find out. 📹 youtu.be/DeO39vPdTN0 #UrbanCycling #BikeHamilton #CyclingInfrastructure

🚴‍♂️Cycling the outer trails of #EramosaKarst — wide meadows, bumpy sections, and a landscape nearly lost to development. Good thing they stopped blasting💥when they did. Now we get to ride it. 📺Watch: youtu.be/9mcrnjOvAAM #HamOnt #Cycling #TrailRiding #UrbanNature
