Toronto's Secret Pathways

Imagine living in a major North American city where you can hop on your bike, access a trail behind your apartment, and pedal your way downtown without being threatened or intimidated by cars. That city is Toronto. It has a network of tree-lined trails and pathways, a lot of it populated by flowering plants and a variety of birds. It is patrolled by policemen on bikes and has well-maintained paths. You are well-advised to bring your own food and drinks because there are no convenience stores here. Washrooms are also few and far between. But do avail of the park benches and listen to the birds. Out here, it's easy to forget that minutes away is a bustling concrete jungle with thousands of cars rushing everywhere.
