Cycling and mountain biking

From vibrant city streets to charming small towns, sparkling lakefronts and rolling countryside, Ontario was made to be explored on two wheels.

See the province from a new perspective on a guided bicycle tour. Join fully outfitted, family-friendly day trips through the lively neighbourhoods of Toronto and Ottawa. Or pedal through the postcard-perfect wine regions of Prince Edward County and Niagara. Opt for an e-bike rental for an extra boost.

For avid cyclists, tackle a guided or self-guided multi-day journey along scenic, bike-friendly routes across Manitoulin Island or the quiet backroads of Grey County. Gravel riders can chart even more ground, discovering rugged gravel cycling routes built for long-haul adventure.

If you prefer dirt under your tires, Ontario’s mountain biking delivers and fat biking trails extend the season into winter. Top resorts like Blue MountainHorseshoe and Deerhurst make it easy to add mountain biking to your getaway, featuring onsite trails and rentals.

With bicycle-friendly accommodations, well-marked routes and tours for every skill level, Ontario welcomes every kind of cyclist. Clip in, gear up and discover the province by bike.
