I moved to Toronto in January, 2014. It was one of the worse winters in Canada, and for me it was a struggle to survive in this new country with temperatures below -20. I knew what was ahead of me before coming here, but being in this bitter cold weather is completely different. But Spring finally arose, a little bit late, in the beginning of May, followed by the Summer. And with it, I could buy my first bike here in Toronto.
I couldn’t afford a new bike, so I searched one on Kijiji, and found the perfect one for me (and by perfect, I mean a price I could afford). The place was in Scarborough, I went there by TTC to get my bike and get back home – I didn’t adventure myself riding from Scarborough to downtown!
On the next days, I started to discover Toronto in my bike. I’d named her Victoria Beckham, the Posh Spice. And with her, I had discovered an amazing city, completely different from the one you see taking the TTC or just walking around. So I had started to taking pics of my tours and posted on Instagram with the #torontobiketours.
And then, I had the idea to create a blog with not only my pics, but telling a little bit more about my tours and giving tips to everyone who is interested in biking in Toronto. Let’s ride!

Hi Fabio, have you biked the mtb trail inside Earl Bales Park in North York (bathurst and sheppard) yet? If not, let me know and I can show you. You can downhill and climb the skill hill too.

I’m so excited that we found your blog! We’re keen cyclists but have not explored as much as Toronto by bike as we should have done by now so I’ll be looking to you for inspiration!

Thanks so much! I’ve been discovering amazing places lately, too bad the winter is coming and I won’t be able to explore so much. And I’m excited about your blog too! So many nice places in Toronto that I don’t know either 🙂
