Traffic volume on these roads is generally low, except in the Halifax metropolitan area. They are straight, frequently have four lanes, go over hills rather than around them, avoid villages, and carry more and higher speed traffic. The weather is temperate but maritime, and subject to the frequent changes the sea can bring. Although you might spend two weeks here and not have a day of rain, that would be rather unusual, so pack your rain gear and come prepared. In the summer, the prevailing wind is from the south-west, and usually light.
Wind velocities increase as winter approaches.
In Nova Scotia, bicycle shops are usually found only in major population centres. In the Halifax-Dartmouth area there are a number of bicycle shops with a large selection of bicycles, parts, clothing and accessories, and well equipped repair facilities. In the rest of the Province, bicycle shops can be expected to be more sparsely supplied. May your trip in Nova Scotia be enjoyable .
