(See the archives for the first part or go directly to: http://marcpil.blogspot.com/2009/08/voyage-velo-en-ontario-windsor.html) Day 7 Saturday, June 27 Niagara Parkway (Riverside Park Queenston) 40km Today, small bike day. I will slowly traverse the Niagara Parkway and spend time enjoying the falls. I approach the falls slowly, savoring the scenery, the water accelerates fast that form, the noise increases, slowly but surely. I take lots of pictures. Tons of photos! Still trying to find the best angle for the right time, while the seagulls are well placed, that tourist settles a bit ... Tourists, full of tourists! Saturday, warm and more, I am not alone. I move slowly among the tourists with the bike. The trailer made of the effect, I hear a lot of comments like "Hey have you seen that?", "Cool!" ... "Never seen one like this .." "Look! A third wheel!" After a quick lunch, I go to the "downtown". Niagara is at the foot of a small hill where the big hotels are set to the casino. holiday shopping It seems guaranteed to occupy the space to better hide the view the falls and book it to paying customers ... Even small lookouts before the casino only allow a view obstructed by vegetation that are allowed to grow negligent on the slope too steep to build it. Finally, after a couple of hours around the falls, I continue my path towards Shalamar campground, further north in Queenston. On my way, I stop to admire this curiosity is the "whirlpool." Here, the Niagara River turns 90DEG and turning, water forms a large tub, hence its name. Day 8 Sunday, June 28 Niagara Parkway Trail Waterfront (Queenston - Bronte Creek Park) 106km Campground Shalamar I leave in the morning. The weather was cloudy. I head to Niagara-by-the-Lake along the Niagara Parkway. Soon I reach the beginning of the Waterfront Trail, a bicycle path that want some equivalent to the Route Verte home. I drive slowly on this very nice track and I enjoy crossing the mid-grassed area, half wooded. I go into an area where several vineyards finally found I have not taken the time to visit. I approached a small bridge over a creek when I see the corner of his eye a sign: Inniskillin! This is where everything is spoiled. I turn my head and throw another blow-knowing. Belle teaches, beautiful building with castle air. But the culvert approach! When I look back to the front, I see that I deviated from my race and I'm heading straight for a post that is in the center, at the entrance of the bridge. I'm doing everything I can to avoid it but in doing so I deviate too far left and I lose my balance against the railing of the bridge. I scrape all the forearm, hand, wrist, Ouch! My watch while taking a shot too. The rubber strap is scratched, two screws are broken. I leave after giving up the trailer that was taken down in shock. Woe! My derailleur is screwed holiday shopping up. The speed change by themselves holiday shopping with a kind of dithering between two gears. I'm looking, I do not see what's wrong. After another stop, I think part of the problem: a pinion of the derailleur cage is broken. I also suspect that the cage is crooked. I finally stopped at a street corner in the middle of Niagara-by-the-Lake for a final review my derailleur and see what I can do as a temporary quickfix. It does not do thirty seconds I stopped holiday shopping a truck milk truck genre, stops and the driver asks me if he can help me. Doubtful without much see which trade it is, I wonder what he could do on Sunday morning. I told him that my derailleur is screwed up, he would see a "bikeshop" not too far? Of course! He explains that he works for a bike rental holiday shopping company. It does just round the B & B to pick up the bikes that customers leave one! I take a look more closely at what is written on the truck: "Zoom Leisure" http://www.zoomleisure.com/ Aboard my bike in his truck and in less than 5 minutes, here I am in the workshop, where I expect the mechanic holiday shopping was called holiday shopping to come and fix my bike! Two hours later, I leave with a new Shimano Tournay on the cheap cheap, beautiful 13 dollars! It cost me more expensive pourboi
