Toronto. Algonquin Island by the park.@jdcamb - where is the house under the "no cars on the island" pic?
Looks like Vasco Rd. So I'm sure there was no speeding involved herehold my beer....
hipster central
No Cars on the Island....
Giving that shit away...
Rustic tag? Where have you seen that before....
Lived there for 6 years. Not surprising at all, it's pretty redneck even if it's a uni town now. (it's also the best for property investment in Canada right now)I got my ass kicked in Kitchener once...
The Island sucks. You're right, it's pretty much hipster central where a bunch of wankers flock to the beach to get away from the city, while still being in the city, with a view of the city. Same goes for cherry beach.hipster central
Looks like classic 'old' Europe. Reminds me a little of Strasbourg. You reckon there is good riding near there?One for @jdcamb
Not a picture but the video is mostly a sequence of stunning architecture pictures from my home town, start to end.
Mostly Old folks to me. Retired hippys. I like it there, Quiet and peaceful without cars.hipster central
Someone give Hacka some rep for as God once again hates me.... I plan to go there someday and get really drunk. Thanks for sharing.One for @jdcamb

My Cousin has a Cottage there. I find the hipsters are fairly benign as compared to the rest of Toronto. Sure they talk loud on their phones on the Ferry and in the Rectory. I give as many fucks about them as they do me..... My problem with the Islands is all the horny retired school teachers that won't leave me alone.The Island sucks.

Will never go back to that pointless slab again. way too many times in the past.
/hate.
Plenty of other places significantly quieter. Heck even the Don trails are nice and quiet once the greenery kicks into swing. The Island is just full of people, old hippies and young hipsters, and can't forget the massive families taking up the entire park for their day long bbqs...Mostly Old folks to me. Retired hippys.

Lotsa hills with gnarly terrain within 30 minutes of driving, including virgin woods of present and former army grounds (Wehrmacht used to do tough drills of their elite units for Russian winter offensive during WW2 there). And about 1 hour north, fantastic mountains for skiing and now with increasing lift assisted DH.Looks like classic 'old' Europe. Reminds me a little of Strasbourg.

Great to know.Lotsa hills with gnarly terrain within 30 minutes of driving, including virgin woods of present and former army grounds (Wehrmacht used to do tough drills of their elite units for Russian winter offensive during WW2 there).

That said, I've never DHed there, as I started serious MTB after having come to the US of A. Btw. Nove mesto with one of the most popular UCI XC circuits is only 70 miles away.
My Cousins place is 2 doors north of Smileys on Dakota. If we are on the Porch cooking stop by. The rest of us live near Jane and Finch so we are used to the noise. PM me first before you stop by there....Plenty of other places significantly quieter. Heck even the Don trails are nice and quiet once the greenery kicks into swing.

As you know, the Don is the real in-city retreat. if you really want to escape the noise, come ride the Hilton area with us. Moved from the Junction (7 years there, 8 years North York, 2 years beaches, 7 years Scarborough) once it turned into another hipsterville in 2012 and haven't looked back since. binderdundat.
I hear that about the teachers. haha.
Prague's fine, other larger cities are likely also OK, bike parks - not so sure but probably fine as they get visitors from Poland, Germany etc. About local riding - I'll have to ask around, someone with a local knowledge would be needed.Great to know.
Might consider that region for a vaca next summer.
How is the English saturation in CR?
Mittens^ I can't figure out what that's supposed to be pre-fingers.
Jane and Finch is close to where I live during the week (up in Vaughan weekdays). It's a safe neighborhood if you've been around long enoughMy Cousins place is 2 doors north of Smileys on Dakota.

A pair of mittens turned goatse.^ I can't figure out what that's supposed to be pre-fingers.
