Bicycle ONTARIO - Bicycling Maps

Many cities and regions have bicycling maps. They are listed below with links. These maps include routes on trails, multi-use recreational paths, bike lanes on streets and other on street routes. These are useful when you want to find your way within an urban area or when you are bicycling through it.

Self Guided Touring
Experienced riders can enjoy the freedom of riding when and where they want making their own plans for distance per day, rest stops, accommodation and meals. Self guided rides are aided by good route maps and a cell phone to get assistance if required. Before going on a long ride ensure that your bicycle is in good condition. Always carry a spare inner tube for your tires and a tire pump, since this is the most common repair. Learn to change the tube in your bike tires or ride with someone who does.

Cycling groups may be able to provide their own support vehicle driven by one of the group members. This can be a friend who does not want to bicycle or shared among those who wish to ride a shorter distance. Another option is to have one of the riders start out driving the vehicle to the end of the days ride and then bicycling back to meet the other riders, finsihing the ride with them.
