Cycling in Waterloo Region

[jamincan]

Northfield is awful for cycling. The section this cyclist was on is actually not a common one for cyclists to use as Middlebrook Road runs parallel and is much nicer. The section of Northfield I probably use most often is south of Scotch Line. Scotch Line is a relatively popular E-W option in that area, but ends at Northfield. People therefore often take Northfield between Scotch Line and Jiggs Hollow Rd. There is actually a laneway that is much nicer opposite Scotch Line, but it's a private road.

There is also discussion about Woolwich demolishing the bridge on Glasgow, which would make the only access to areas northeast of Waterloo (a very popular area for cycling) be via Northfield to Conestogo.
