Cycling - Roads & Paths

Enjoy the hum of your bike tires on a country road

Ontario has thousands of kilometres of country roads and bike paths that are perfect for day rides or longer tours. Ride along the many lakeshores, through rolling hills, farmlands, vineyards and old-growth forests.

In southern Ontario, you'll find towns and villages close together which makes it convenient for eating and resting. In and around the city of Toronto, you'll find circuits with hundred of kilometres of bike paths and routes.

However, if you're going through northern Ontario, you'll have to do more planning and be more self-sufficient since it can be a long distance between services.

For longer tours, contact one of the OTC member cycle touring organizations to get more information so you can plan your trip. In general, you can do bike tours in Ontario from May through mid-October, but of course you'll want to check the weather conditions before you head off for a longer trip.
