I had Fish & Chips at the Masstown Market on my way back.

But first, I had to feed the bike at the Station across the road.

Yeah Peggy's Cove can be a real nightmare to get through sometimes. Luckily I've been there enough times that I can pretty much tell how bad it's going to be just from the traffic on the drive there. If it's too bad I'll just keep going to the Swiss Air Memorial or Indian Harbour. Both are just as picturesque but a lot less crowded... and no lighthouse.
You were on a bike so just do the "hooligan rev-limiter bark" and people will notice you. They may throw their ice cream at you but at least they'll get out of the way.
The drive/ride down route 3 to Bridgewater is a nice trip too, although a few sections of it are a little rough. Of course you should also take a side trip over to Lunenburg. There are lots of pubs and photo ops around the town. You might even get lucky and the Bluenose II will be home.
