Title will go here. Rail Corridors Bike trails attract tourists . Rail trails in North America have resulted in a significant effect on the economy of the areas that these trails pass through.
Cyclists spend money to fuel their bodies and to buy cycling related equipment and gear.
Abandoned and operational hydro and rail corridors can provide a network of bike trails. The Toronto Cycling Committee has approached Toronto City Council for their support in creating a network of bike trails on corridors throughout Toronto. Of Toronto's 400 km of hydro and rail corridors, about 220 km show potential for bike trails. Such a network would be conducive to intermodal or direct commuting to work, and to recreational cycling and drawing tourists to the City. Fortunately, many rapid transit stations are situated close to this proposed network.
