Canalside, Buffalo\u2019s beloved summertime destination and the linchpin of the city\u2019s revitalized waterfront, transforms when the temperatures dip below freezing. Festivals in the summer sun and paddleboats in the replica Erie Canal waterways make way for wintry outdoor activities and 33,000 square feet of ice to skate, curl and bike (yes, bike) upon. Here are all the ways to experience Canalside this winter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out the Ice Bikes of Buffalo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A truly Buffalo-born activity, the Ice Bikes of Buffalo<\/strong><\/a> were invented and debuted right here at The Ice at Canalside. This exclusive attraction allows you to pedal and steer around the ice in the same manner as riding a traditional bike. It\u2019s the perfect way to get in on the action if ice skating isn\u2019t your thing, or if you\u2019re just looking to switch it up. You can hop on this Katie Couric-approved phenomenon<\/strong><\/a> anytime that public skating is open on The Ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
