Might be a good time to hit up skateboard parks and bike parks, if one is looking to ride… as long as one stays out of the woods while there or going to/from.
I contacted the person putting together the BNS Bicycling routes book suggesting that Nova Scotia Bike Parks (Dirt Jump, BMX track, 4-Cross, Mtb Skills Parks) be included.
I’m having trouble finding info on what parks are still active around NS. HRM doesn’t seem to list any info on their website. I don’t know if they’ve given up maintaining their parks.
Could we put together a list of active (and inactive/defunct) bike parks?
