This city is not bike friendly. Saw a post a couple months ago on here about biking in Royal Oak. A few days ago I was riding east on Normandy. As I was passing by the high school's baseball field I could hear some honking from behind. Figured it was just some road rage between some motorists.

It’s a 38 km one way cycle from Turner Valley to the dead end at Junction Creek. You could also shorten the ride by starting at the winter gate.
