In R.cgiy to: Bicycling in St. John's posted by Mandy Aagenes on March 02, 19100 at 17:54:12:
Although I have seen a few cyclists on the north shore roads, most St. John roads are not condusive to bicycling.
There are no shoulders and many blind spots and once you leave town, you are usually making "hard" climbs up the road or careening down the other side in low gear with the brakes on.
Unless you are in great shape, accustomed to mountain biking, and like to live dangerously, I would leave the bikes at home.
Of course, if you are staying in town and.cgian to bike for very short distances, you might be OK. But even then, it probably is not worth the hassel of transporting and hauling them with you.
