What’s it like biking in London, Ontario? Honestly, it really depends on where you live, where you need to go, and which routes you take.
In this video, join Katie Lardner and I for a ride along as she embarks on a Costco run using her long tail electric cargo bike (Tern GSD).
This is part one of a two-part series where we’ll explore what it’s like to bike across the city, ask Katie some questions, and navigate London’s streets, paths, bike lanes, and dedicated cycling infrastructure.
In the next video, we’ll see how she manages to haul over $300 worth of groceries back home!
