Commuting by Cycling

Cycling is a great way to get exercise.

More than just a recreational sport, riding your bike to work is a fun commuting option.

Depending on your fitness level and distance from work, you can bike the entire trip or just part of it.

Some public buses are equipped with bike racks on the front of the bus so you can ride to a bus stop, mount your bike on the rack, and ride the rest of the way in air conditioned comfort.

The many bike trails throughout the GTA make cycling a pleasant way to get to work. York Region Transit accommodates cyclists.  See more information on biking sites listed on our "Links" page.

For Employers

You can facilitate the use of this commuting option by providing showers and bike racks. A local company makes bike racks so you can contact them to see the sizes and styles available – www.daytechmfg.com.
