Crossing the Peace Bridge into Canada and the Rainbow Bridge into the US (Niagara Falls by bike!)

Beginning on the US side of the Peace Bridge, I make the border crossing on bike, stop for coffee, then ride north on the Canadian side of the Niagara river for about 19 miles before seeing Niagara Falls, taking a short detour through the tourist hotspot, and crossing the Rainbow Bridge to head back to the US.

I cut the camera for the actual border guard conversations. In both cases I crossed with the cars and only needed my Enhanced Drivers License.

Recorded on July 28th2023 with an Insta360 Go 3 camera.
