We went to Guelph on Saturday morning to bike some of their trails.
Very nice trails in some spots... but connectivity is awful. Almost all of the road crossings look like this:
All they'd have to do is notch the curb. You have to schlep your bike over every single one of them (not much of a "gnar shredder" myself I'm afraid). Some crossings are much worse, with them being offset a hundred metres or so with no intersections nearby. Impossibly baffling for a city that touts itself as being so green and progressive! I was really surprised by this.
That being said, the trails in the North part of the city are absolutely my favourite ones I have ever ridden. Simply gorgeous.

Hi @cityofguelph, we visited from Kitchener to ride your bike trails. Most are nice but connectivity is awful. Why not notch these curbs? pic.twitter.com/Ytqifq7WMn
