Lambton County has an impressive bike trail network!

Did you know that Lambton County has an impressive bike trail network. Well, it might not be the dedicated trails but since 2001, share the road signs have been posted on country roads. As a motorist, we might have become use to see the “Share the Road” signs. However, they have been posted to educate the population about the respectful of shared roadways.
… in response to increased cycling interest, a 476-kilometre, county-wide, on-road trail corridor was designed to include the natural, heritage and cultural assets of Lambton County. The trail, which meanders along paved, less travelled roads of Lambton, integrates links to Chatham-Kent, Huron and Middlesex counties and the US.

Despite the snowy last few days, Spring is the occasion to have you bike tuned up and take it out for a spin. The roads are ready for sharing!

10 REASONS TO RIDE A BIKE
1. Health – Riding a bike provides a simple and effective means of getting the daily physical activity needed for basic health. Use of a bicycle for transportation makes this an easy part of your daily routine.
2. Cost – Biking is an inexpensive form of transportation and recreation. The savings when compared to driving are enormous, and can you think of a greater cost to fun ratio?
3. Accessibility – Bikes and places to ride them are accessible to all, young and old, rich and poor.
4. Environmentally sustainable – Cycling is non-polluting, relatively low manufacturing impact, and non-disposable (unless it’s a box store bike).
5. Stress Relief – Biking is an effective way to relieve stress and get away from the hustle and bustle.
6. Social – Cycling with family and friends is a great way to spend time with people. It lends to conversation, camaraderie, and common experience.
7. Fitness – Over and above basic health, cycling is a low impact, high cardio-vascular activity that can be used to achieve high levels of fitness.
8. Efficiency – Many studies have shown that a bicycle multiplies human efficiency of movement so much as to make him the most efficient creature on earth.
9. Culture – Bicycles have been associated with or at the centre of every positive social/cultural revolution in society since their invention. Coincidence?
10. Fun – And yes, biking is just plain fun!
