oh, that sucks.  I just started re-cycling for pleasure now.  My problem sounds like the opposite of yours, lots of road but it is not very fun to travel with the TO traffic.   I use to be able to commute by bicycle but unfortuanately can only do that once or twice a week now and I am trying to train and get up to 40k 4 days a week so gotta find some fun places to cycle outside of my commuting days.  Trying to figure out some good routes for west end Toronto without to much traffic.
