Difficulty: no car. My girlfriend and I just bought a <a href="http://www.hasebikes.com/57-1-pino-tour-flash.html">tandem touring bike</a>, and we're both keen to get out to the Ontario countryside for some summer tours. The catch is we have no car.<br> <br> I know that the GO Train is one option for downtown cyclists trying to escape, but from what I can tell <a href="http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/schedule/pubsched.aspx?table=65&direction=1&day=1&page=4&New=&station=&zone=">only </a>the Lakeshore line runs trains that fall outside their <a href="http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/faq/default.htm#Bicycles">rush-hour bicycle ban</a>. <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/36875/Biking-around-Lake-Ontario">The Lakeshore area is pretty nice</a>, but I'd rather get to the Barrie area to access Tobermory, Parry Sound, or Algonquin.<br> <br> Any tricks for escaping the GTA on a low carbon footprint would be much appreciated. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.91120 Sun, 11 May 2008 11:06:14 -0800 bicycle bicycling cycling tour touring toronto gta transit transportation gotransit ttc anthill
