The Odette Sculpture Park makes for an interesting ride along the river from the Ambassador bridge towards the casino although there were more pedestrians walking on the trail than cyclists on this beautiful late October day.
Not surprisingly, cycling infrastructure in Canada's Motor City tends toward the recreational rather than the functional commuter need. As is often found in cities in Canada, the idea of the infrastructure as displayed on their website is at odds with the reality on the roads.
Traffic patterns and flow is well defined and efficient; if you are a motorist. For pedestrians and cyclists; not so much. Nor is there anything like a public bike sharing program such as the Bixi. Reminded me of Montreal not so long ago.
