    I live in Peterborough, Ontario now.
    There are numerous biking and hiking trails carved out of the numerous abandoned rail lines that used to pass through the city over the last 150 years (Most of them went bankrupt pretty quick).
    One of the big trails is the TransCanada trail (yep, a hiking and biking trail that actually goes coast to coast across Canada) which literally runs by my backyard.
    There are numerous former railway bridges crossing the Otonabee river most of which are trestle bridges and have been modernized for bicycles and Hikers.
    One of our favourites through, is the "Double Trestle Bridge" on The trail not far from the village of Omemee off of Orange Corners Road. It doesn't cross the river, but gap between two drumlins.
    People come from Toronto (an hour-and-half drive to the south west) just to walk along the trail to the bridge.
    If you're really enthusiastic you can bicycle or hike to it from Peterborough, along the TransCanada Trail.

    It’s called locally the “7 Bridges Hike”. I like stopping in Hillcrest for breakfast (Hash House A Go Go, Crest Cafe or Breakfast Bitch.) Start at Ba;boa Park at the bridge that heads to the Rose Garden, and end crossing the Laurel Street Bridge.

    In Germany there is a similiar bridge contructed in 1901 over a river. This year it had to be blocked and it is uncertain that it can be repaired - to much damage by corrosion. Bridges are a very sad story in Gemany, thousands (!) are in a very bad situation and need urgent repair or rebuilt. Home made problem, no repairs done for decades to save money.

    Suspension bridges are cool--seeing one always brings back the childhood memory of the one on Tom Sawyer's Island in Disneyland. As a San Diego native I'm a little ashamed to admit that I've never been to either one of those. Living in San Jose, they're bridges too far (movie pun) to do today, but I'll definitely do them the next time I'm down there.

    Glad to see these bridges are still around and maintained. I lived near one end of the Quince St bridge in the 70s and used it to walk to see friends. It was a little scary alone at night, but otherwise really cool. I was too afraid of heights to do Spruce St. Quince was a challenge but shorter than walking around. Guess it's still a well kept secret.

  • @ricklee4
    @ricklee4 Před rokem

    Dude-dudette I don't think you've seen scary yet. Where I grew up we had vine bridges over raging rivers, one of the more more modern bridges had steel cables, cross ties and a single plank to walk on... oh and the single handrail was a stand of barbed wire!
    We would wait until no one was around to cross, even so our own footfall would cause the plank to slap up and hit the other foot as it came down. Very difficult to stay balanced.
    Regardless; nice coverage of very old bridges still in use.
