Moncton to Prince Edward Island. We cycled from Moncton to Shediac, then along the coast to the bridge into P.E.I. Bikes are not allowed on the bridge, so we took the free shuttle bus and camped soon after.

P.E.I. is really outstanding cycling. The island is honeycombed with quiet roads rolling up and down hills. There is little traffic. There is also a hard packed trail which is quite rideable even for our bikes.
The P.E.I. bike trail
We took a combination of road and trail up to the north coast. I got a really bad puncture in Kensington.

I have become quite fond of P.E.I. It is a cyclist's paradise. I like the hills and the energy required to climb them. There is very little traffic, and the islanders are happy, friendly and civil. We took a short ride to Charlottetown and attended the Shellfish Festival. It was a great time. The music and seafood were grand.
