Any details regarding the cyclist's identity, the cycling group affiliation, any witnesses of the incident, or anyone that spoke to the cyclists, or any other related information are crucial.

Attention fall cyclists! If you’re out riding gravel or mountain bike trails we want to remind everyone to be safe during the fall hunting season. Please remember to dress visibly and wear bright orange if possible.
While the popular deer hunting season in Ontario varies by region and hunting method, in most areas it runs October to the first two weeks of December.
Check with your local trail or conservation management organization for hunting policies, but be aware hunting may take place in the following areas: Crown land, municipal/county forests, limited number of provincial parks and wildlife areas, some conservation areas, and private land.
It’s that time of the year again – send us your best Ontario ride photos of 2023!
We know you love to explore Ontario by bike and we want the photos to prove it! Whether you spent time on rides with family or friends, close to cities and towns or out in the countryside and wilderness, we hope you snapped a few great photos featuring you, your bikes and places you stopped.
The winning photo will be published in the 2024 - 12th annual edition of the Cycling in Ontario / Le vélo en Ontario guide.
Submit your photo/s by email to info@ontariobybike.ca before the contest closes on November 19, 2023. Be sure to include your name, where you are from and info on where in Ontario the photo was taken.
