While trekking is offered many places in the states, I took the opportunity to visit Boler Mountain. The part offers biking, an adventure park, volleyball and many other activities. During the winter, they offer things like skiing. We purchased tickets for the treetop adventure for beginners concluded with the big zip. The Big Zip is an 1100 foot zip line that takes you to the bottom of the mountain and was included in the ticket. Being that this was our first time trekking, we had no clue what to expect , but Madison was extremely helpful with showing us how to utilize our equipment during the demo and we had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend doing the beginners if this is your first time, but if you find that you like it, you should upgrade to the intermediate. I would recommend to wear comfortable tennis shoes as it can be a little bit slippery if your shoes are not sturdy. They also have The Patio where people can order drinks/food and is open in the evening. Special thanks to the entire staff as they were extremely helpful to me and my boyfriend. Cole was very knowledgeable about London and surrounding areas and gave us tons of history and recommendation for the city. Everything was clean here and we didn't encounter any issues. When we arrived to the beginners area, we did not see anyone but it's because the staff was helping someone who was stuck on the zip line. We just went ahead and began the course but usually there is someone there to help you. Luckily, we got through the entire course without an issue. We loved it and hope to visit Boler Mountain again!

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.

I bought my mid-high end bike here in 2012. Last week I broke a small part (it happens), and as a…read moreresult, I smashed up a bunch of the back end pretty badly. Rather than try to fix it myself, I brought it in for repairs. The repair guy in the back was very helpful about explaining what needed to be fixed and why. For each damaged part, he gave me the option of replacing it entirely with the same part, replacing it with a more affordable option (and explained the performance difference), or of leaving the old part there (and explained what weakness it may cause if I did). He didn't pressure me to replace any unnecessary parts (I already had an idea of what I'd damaged), and he didn't try to upsell me to more expensive parts. He also offered me an affordable option for labour (just the cost to swap the parts), or the option to pay a little more and get a tune-up and cleaning on the entire bike at the same time, with the installs included. I opted for the whole package, and he asked me follow-up questions about anywhere else I was noticing issues on the bike so they could get everything in one go. They gave me a estimate for all the parts and service and told me they'd call if it was going to be any more expensive. I checked the price of parts against online options and other stores, and found everything to be within a couple dollars of what I'd pay elsewhere. Overall, good service, no sales pressure, and would recommend.

The mechanics, although busy with spring tuneups, etc. took the time to help us out and no one seemed inpatient with our continuous questions and "what ifs"!

October 27, 2019…read more It's a rainy day today and I can't ride my bike so I must write a note as to what happened on the morning of August 15, 2019. My bike needed some repair so I decided to take it to Spoke & Sprocket on 1890 Hyde Park Rd. London Ont. N6H 5L9. The owner gave me a price to repair it which I agreed to and told me to come back the next morning at 7:00 am and said it would be ready. At 7:00 am sharp the next morning I showed up and he went to get my bike. He went to pick the bike out of the repaired pile but could not locate it. Somehow it was delegated to be repaired that afternoon. He was extremely apologetic and told me to return in 1 hour and it would be fixed free of charge for his mistake. I returned in one hour to find new brake pads installed front and back with new cables. He also replaced the shifter cable and adjusted the shifter so it meshed properly in all gears. He also greased the chain and sprocket and yes it was FREE. I only have the most highly regards to this man and his company for his outstanding service.
