I decided to get more excercise with my bike lately and my bike has been in storage for a while so…read moreit was due for me to give it a tune up before riding it. My bike required some mineral hydraulic brake oil as it was low . But during these times were in right now with COVID these bicycles shops are all out if stock of not only bikes but almost anything you require including some bike shops like Cyclepath in Brampton closing down after 40 yrs in business , things have really been tough for some of these business , I also found that most of the bike shops in peeel also had majorly reduced hours, except Trek . After many calls Trek had the oil I required so I drove down to pick it up at there mississauga location just east of Winston Churchill on Dundas . This is a fairly new and large location that they openmed up recently. Seems like they had a good selection and variety of there Trek brand bikes and a great selection of parts and accessories for bikes , most bike related items . They also have nike techs on staff to do any tuning or bike repairs you require. They were friendly professional and helped me in a quick manner. Nice knowledgable staff , as I had some questions and they seem to really know there stuff there. I really recomend this store and just earned me as a new loyal customer. They seem to have most things in stock and an amazing variety of tools that I have not seen at other bike shops. Great experience and I got my oil.

Made me a loyal customer!…read more I've been very happy both as a purchases or a bike as well as on going service (maintenance and repairs). Really like interacting with Martin and Rick who are are much more skilled and knowledgeable than my previous bike shop. Even though I live in Toronto I go out of my way to visit this shop!

We were staying in Brampton, and we were looking for a trail to ride our bikes on. I was looking at…read morethe Peel bike website, and saw this long squiggle across the foot of the escarpment. I suggested doing this trail to Lee, and we drove to the start in Terra Cotta and off we went. There are a variety of surfaces to this trail, mostly crushed stone, sometimes dirt, and occasionally paved. It winds through the countryside, past an abandoned brick factory, through farmlands, suburbs, and forests, as well as a downtown tourist area. If you've ever driven along Highway 10 towards Orangeville, you have seen the blue arched bridge of the trail path. It's part of the Trans Canada Trail, and one of the pavilions is located near Caledon East. The trail is gentle and mostly flat, although there are a couple of road crossings that are steep, probably because a railroad trestle was removed at some point. There's a lot of opportunities for nature watching, particularly because the trail goes through several nature preserves. I saw quite a few chippies and squirrels, as well as orioles, jays and other birds. I only have a couple of complaints: one is that although there are frequent trash cans along the trail, in a couple of places they were overflowing with garbage, implying that it had been a very long time since it had been cleaned up. This was pretty yucky in my opinion, a bit of a disappointment. The other complaint was that part of the trail was shut down for maintenance/construction, but there were no signs directing cyclists to a detour. We ended up doing what most people were doing: cutting through the fence and going through the construction site. Other than these quibbles, it's a great trail that you should check out if you're in the area.

We accessed it through a frail yet charming town of Inglewood, right off of McLaughlin Road. To those staying in Mississauga and Brampton, you can basically take the road straight down to the trail. Apparently, it isn't a hidden secret and tons of people know about this trail. We went at 7 am and saw a few bikers and some walkers. We hiked down with Caesar (my doggo) and it was serene and empty enough that I could let him off leash. We covered about 10km (past hwy 10 and then back). It's an easy hike as the land is pretty flat, a few ups and downs here and there but nothing too rough. It was mostly pebbled path with trees on both sides and some streams of water that Caesar was so KEEN on jumping into. There were 2 concrete bridges we crossed over - all in all it was a great morning walk with the dog. I highly recommend this place.

Gets bonus points for being close to downtown. It can be really busy in the weekends and…read moreafternoons, but if you go before work in the morning you can have the whole trail system to yourself. The trails can be really challenging especially for new riders. Although I haven't tried it before, I think they do group rides on Tuesday evenings in the summer. My favourite trail is catalyst. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time you go. You have to go through the "ridge" (which is the first trail) which ends in a parking lot. You have to head down the road and make a left onto a trail when you get close to the creek (I think it is taylor creek, but not sure). Follow that trail until you get to a switch-back and then head back east when you get to the top of the switchback (head away from the footbridge). Please wear a helmet if you are going. As I said, these trails can be tricky, and I have hurt myself a couple of times with bad bails. Things could have been really bad if I wasn't wearing a helmet.

We've been going to this bike shop for years because it's the only option in our neighborhood, but…read moreunfortunately the experience seems to get worse with each visit. The customer service is consistently disappointing. Staff rarely makes eye contact, there is little to no acknowledgment when customers enter the store, and basic courtesies such as greeting customers or providing updates on wait times are completely absent. It is extremely inefficient and disorganized. What makes the experience particularly frustrating is that there can be only a couple of customers in the store while several employees are on the floor, yet it can still take 30 minutes to an hour just to get someone's attention or speak with a staff member. During these waits, there is often no communication, no indication of who is being helped next, and no confirmation that anyone will be assisting you. As a family that loves biking and has invested a lot of time and money on our bikes, it's so frustrating to get it serviced at this location and will be looking at going elsewhere.

I've been looking for hiking trails in the GTA and stumbled upon the Oak Ridges Corridor…read moreConservation Reserve. I started at the southeast corner of the reserve and explored the whole east side. There are several small parking lots near the trails. I parked on Bridgewater Drive, just south of Stouffville Road, and headed north towards Jefferson Forest. The trails by Jefferson Forest aren't well marked and are mainly used for mountain biking. It was a bit difficult to figure out which direction to go and was difficult to find this trail off of the main trail. The trail from Jefferson Forest is shaded by trees and the ground is packed dirt. The trail rises and falls in places, but there is no significant elevation change. What I liked about the trail was the change in scenery. At times, I felt like I was walking through the Shire. There seems to be an attempt to grow different trees in the area, so at times it looks like a tree farm. You'll see perfectly formed rows of trees, such as evergreens. Once you reach the main trail, it turns into well-maintained gravel. I traveled northeast towards Oak Ridges Community Centre. The trail goes through a clearing before you start seeing civilization again. The trail passes by neighborhoods of cookie-cutter suburban homes and even passes behind some of the homes. There are several apple trees along the path before reaching the northeast parking lot at Bethesda Sideroad. I tried to head towards Swan Lake, but there is no visible public access from the road. Overall, I thought the trail was well-maintained and enjoyed a nature hike in the middle of suburbia.

They said "Yes", I dropped off my bike, and it was literally done within an hour! Clay, the guy who received me, was very friendly and helpful when I told him the situation. Price-wise, it's a bike store, so nothing is cheap. The cost to install tires was in-line with another store that I asked. When I arrived for pick-up, another man who was at the counter asked if I wanted to purchase a spare tube in my size which is difficult to find, and I obliged. Great way to make an additional sale/look out for the customer. All in all, new tires really made a difference during my long journey! Customer service was fast and friendly. :)
