Reason No. 31: Popping a wheelie.

The saying goes that certain things are like riding a bike—once you learn, you’ll always know how. Well if you haven’t hopped on one since you were 12, you’ll find that this old adage isn’t entirely true. That being said, it’s never too late to hop on a two-wheeler and go for a ride. For a long distance trek with plenty of sightseeing, start at Fort Erie and work your way up to the Falls on the Niagara River Recreational Trail—about 20 miles one way. If you’re looking for a more leisurely ride, BFLO Harbor Kayak rents bikes (and kayaks, of course) by the hour in Naval Park where you can explore the downtown water scene. Or take a chance on a little nighttime adventure with a Midnight Bike Ride. Every Sunday at midnight a group of cyclists meet at the corner of Allen and Wadsworth Streets, in front of The Bend, and bike to a to-be-determined spot. Just don’t fall asleep at the wheel—this group is known to stay out ‘til morning. Image courtesy Bike Commuter Tips.
