Needless to say, but you have to super alert and confident in your riding. The 400s are no place for beginners in my opinion. Rush hour traffic volume is crazy. Night time traffic is lighter but the speeds are higher with cars and bikes pushing their luck.
When was the last time you could do that without encountering at least one traffic jam?
The last time I drove out of the city the gardiner, DVP, and 401 across the top were stop and go for long stretches and that was between 11:30 and midnight.
I agree, but for one thing… coming off a bike on a freeway has ugly odds.
My commute is on the light side of traffic on the 404 from 7 to Green lane. It’s boring, fast but easy and safe. Running arterial roads (Woodbine, Warden, Kennedy, 48… ) are more scenic but not free of cars entering the road from from driveways and side roads, makeup ladies, and those catching up on their TikTok fix.
For me is the 427north of the 401, airport area and going South on the 400 just pass Wonder Land, all at night. Again the 400 hwys. are not beginner friendly.
Ok. Ok. I think I might have used clearing my head in the wrong sense. It's like this. If I'm having a ****** day at work, I just can't stop the chain of thought about it. Putting myself in a situation where I can't think of anything else than the job at hand is the only way. So yes, a ride where I have no scope for distraction helps. That's what I mean by clears my head.
