Did you know there is low cost camping for cyclists at lockstations along Ontario's heritage waterways?
Follow the Trent Severn Waterway or Rideau Canal and discover Ontario’s heritage waterways by bike, instead of boat. Cyclists on self-supported rides (ie. travelling with no vehicle) can camp at Parks Canada lockstations along the way for just $5 per night, per person (mid May till mid October). While amenities vary depending on lockstation, and not all lockstations offer this option, with a little research this is a super affordable way to visit the beautiful areas around the waterways and experience these historic settings, each so unique and different. Links to more information below.
So pleased to support the new owners of The Cyclepath Danforth and award winners of the 2023 best bicycle friendly bike business in Toronto. For more info on where to find all the award winners across Ontario visit: ontariobybike.ca/2023awardwinners

You’ve toured Ontario’s ‘wine country’ and ‘cottage country’ by bike, but now you’re in the mood for something different – the Near North.
Cycling in the Near North (North Bay, Mattawa and the Almaguin Highlands) wilderness is never far away, services and bicycle friendly businesses and amenities are plenty. Discovery Routes Trails Organization, a local trail and cycling advocacy organization has developed a series of rides with just the right amount of rustic and urban for cyclists of all abilities, from roadie day-trippers to bikepackers to gravel grinders.

The City of Guelph is a fantastic option for a day or weekend bike adventure and easy to do car-free, being accessible from many major centres by GO train and bus.
Discover Guelph’s unique and historic architecture, beautiful rivers and farmland, unique local shops and markets (excellent Saturday farmer's market), and recharge at one of the many restaurants or coffee shops around town.
Whether you're looking for great trails, including the cross-regional Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail and Trans Canada Trail, both perfect for a recreational or family ride, Mountain Biking at Guelph Lake, which also a beautiful afternoon ride and swim destination on trails from downtown, or rural road cycling, you’ll find it in Guelph.
