Trails to try

We asked Ry Shissler of Cycling Toronto, an advocacy group that works toward making Toronto a better city for biking, to share some top trail recommendations.

Etobicoke Creek Trail This quiet trail runs alongside Etobicoke Creek from north of Highway 401 to Ponytrail Drive in the south, passing through parts of Brampton and Mississauga.

Don Valley Trail and Martin Goodman Trail These are a great pick for first time riders or families looking for a relaxed pace. The Martin Goodman Trail runs 56 kilometres along the waterfront while the Don Valley Trail follows the Don River from Lake Ontario to East York.

City cycling A number of new bikeways have been approved for installation by the city, making Toronto even more cyclist friendly. These include Wellington Street from Bathurst Street to Blue Jays Way, and the Queensway from the Humber Bridge to Burma Drive. “We’re hopeful the city will reach its target of 100 kilometres of new bike lanes by the end of 2024,” said Shissler.
