The "bike salmon" phrase comes from this cycling blog in New York... I thought it was hilarious too.
I usually cut through the Garden of the Provinces; only downsides to that route are that the NCC closes it for a good chunk of the year (there's usually a pretty big gap between then end of snow and when they take down the chain link blocking the ramps), and whenever there is any work being done in the area, they have a tendency to park their trucks to block the lower ramp.
