Noel,
Well, I've crossed a few times at both the Peace bridge and
the Rainbow bridge and have found them to be both
acceptable and problem free. Although when I crossed at the
peace bridge from Canada to the US the first time, I sat in
US customs for almost 45 minutes because I didn't go
through the "right" door.
I would imagine that perhaps there is less traffic at the
Queenston-Lewiston bridge than at the others. You can pick
up route 104 just off the bridge and take that out a bit.
That route will turn into more of a rural setting sooner
than if you go through Niagara Falls or Buffalo.
When you say you're heading for the Erie Canal, are you
planning on riding east towards Rochester& Albany? If you're
heading towards the western terminus you may be better off
coming over the Rainbow bridge.
Good Luck! Doug
