Cycling to St.Thomas

[bolognium]

I'm planning to take a day-trip to St.Thomas on my bike. Despite living in London my entire life (college aside) I've only been to St.Thomas a handful of times so I know very little about the city and its surrounding areas. Anyways, two things:

Firstly, I'm hoping you guys can recommend me the safest, bike-friendly route. Right now I'm planning to take the Thames trail to the end of Hamilton and then jump on Old Victoria. That way I can easily cross the 401 and ride basically the whole way to St.Thomas uninterrupted. However, if you guys know of a better route I'm eager to hear any of your suggestions. Also, I'm very comfortable taking a huge detour if it means staying alive.

Secondly, I'm wondering if you guys can give me a few interesting destinations to visit while I'm there. Obviously downtown is first on my list, likely followed by one of the riverside parks. Afterwards, no idea.

Thanks, duders.
