Intro to Fat Biking: Gear Review & the Global Fat Viking Experience

Fat tire bikes are like the hot monster trucks of the cycling world! So when Heron Head Bikes in Brantford, ON gave me the opportunity to test ride 2 models and join the Global Fat Viking ride in January of this year, I jumped at it… sort of!

A Fall Colour Bike Ride on the TH&B Rail Trail

Fall weather in southern Ontario is perfect for biking, and the best part about it is the changing leaves. From mid-September to late October, the shorter days and crisp nights trigger an amazing colour explosion along local trails; none prettier than the transformation on the TH&B rail trail.

Tutela Heights Trail & Bell Homestead Experience

A look at Brantford’s historical and natural background with a combined hike on the Tutela Heights Trail and a visit to the Bell Homestead National Historic Site.

Paddling the Oxbow on the Grand River

If you get the chance to dip your paddle in parts of the Grand River that are seldom seen, tour the back access points and watch what unfolds right in front of you, its almost an indescribable moment of peace and beauty in one. Paddling the Oxbow is one of those experiences. “…5 stars. Would highly recommend!”

Experience A ‘Light the Night’ Ride With Heron Head Bikes

Heron Head Bikes is a unique Brantford bicycle sales and service business with the equally unique offering of coordinated group bike rides. Ranging from city neighbourhood tours to themed trips, pop-up events to monthly “Light the Night” rides, they make every effort to ensure cyclists are safe, feel included, and can thoroughly enjoy the best of what Brantford and the surrounding area have to offer.
