I signed up for the free city bike program and took bike rides a couple of times although riding in city traffic can be challenging. I did a few river trips, they have a free ferry service and also a faster catamaran service that has a fare but isn't really expensive. The river is a big part of this city, it floods every few years and there are lots of nice restaurants along the river's edge.

Queen Street is now just a pedestrian blvd. Lots of shops. There are even tunnels below ground connecting all the buildings and tons of shops and restaurants. I visited the library several times. Great place to rest on a hot day or when a sudden rain shower approached.

The British Lotus is also compelling for some.
