Cycling experience in Mississauga

Cycling is a good exercise that can relieve stress and strengthen your body. As a cycling enthusiast with 5 years of experience in China and an international student who has just been in Canada for less than 4 months, I am very happy to find a good cycling route in Mississauga (where I live.) Let me share with you my riding experience and the riding routes I am familiar with.

Bike transport

I brought in my beloved bike, Merida SCULTURA 1500, from China. Currently, most airlines can check in sports equipment for free, calculated as one checked luggage. I  recommended buying a hard-shell bicycle suitcase to prevent damage to the bike during consignment! After you get off the plane, you must pick it up from the oversized luggage area. Or you can buy a new bike in Canada.

Find a bike shop

After I settled into some issues with my accommodation, my first thing was to find a bike shop. The riding atmosphere here is quite good. You can find many bicycle shops through Google Maps, most shops are on Lakeshore Road because this road is very popular. Here are a few bike shops that I personally think are very professional:

Cycling route

I ride a road bike, so the cycling route is mainly flat roads. The Lakeshore route is very popular and suitable for road cycling, and the route is mainly planned along Lake Ontario. This route runs through many cities and landscapes along the lake, like Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, etc. From Niagara Falls — Toronto (about 150km one way). I live in Mississauga and I usually ride these 2 routes:

View of Brant Street Pier
  • Route 1: Brogue Irish Pub (136 Lakeshore Rd E) —King Rd (King Rd, Burlington/Hamilton), about 40km one way.
    This route is the westward direction of Lakeshore, with moderate difficulty, more undulating roads, clean and well road surface, passing by Oakville town, Kuyawa Beach and other attractions along the way. Bike routes are well-planned and car drivers respect cyclists. The King Rd at the end is a climbing section of about 5.7 km, especially the last 3 km, with a maximum gradient of 14%. Friends who like to climb can go experience it. Of course, you can also choose Kuyawa Beach as the finish point (37.7 km). 
  • Route 2: Brogue Irish Pub (136 Lakeshore Rd E) —Toronto Harbor Lighthouse, about 30 km one way.

    Also on Lakeshore Rd, the route is eastward, and the difficulty is relatively simple. It is mainly on flat roads. After entering Toronto, you need to properly control the riding speed, because there are many pedestrians in DT and the traffic is relatively busy. The finish point is the lighthouse in Tommy Thompson Park. When the weather is good, the lake is blue and clear, which brings a refreshing feeling.

Above all, this is my riding experience in Canada for four months, I hope you like it. If there are deficiencies, please forgive me. This article is written by myself, any similarity is purely coincidental.
