But, gah, so fragmented. As a novice cyclist this is very discouraging. Can't really go anywhere other than those couple of major trails (Spur Line, Iron Horse and Laurel) since they all are just little bits that start and stop here and there. Little steps, I suppose.
Something might help is better signage on the quiet city streets that run in between these trails, Hamilton has a good network of signed on-street bike routes with bigger signs placed where cyclists can see them easily from the street. The Hamilton signs are way better than the tiny Kitchener ones that are way high up and smaller than most street signs. Hamilton is a bit easier to navigate since the grid is strong in the lower part of the city where I was living for a few months but I think with one region-wide consist type of signage there could be a good network of on-road cycling routes that connect to the trails.
