Ontario Bicycle Touring Atlas
Bike Routes Throughout Ontario ORDER NOW Get out your bicycle and enjoy touring in Ontario. These routes were developed over more than a decade of selecting quiet scenic roads for enjoyable cycling and responding to requests for routes through various areas. The new second edition of the Atlas is now available. New and improved bicycle routes have been added to over thirty map pages and over fifty new places have been included in the community index. Highlights and bicycling opportunities in eleven different touring areas in Southern Ontario are included. Five routes across Ontario are mapped and described in detail. The routes are selected for use by road and hybrid bicycles. They include mostly paved secondary roads, paved bike paths where available and unpaved bike paths where suitable. Rough paths or trails suitable for mountain bikes only are not included. There are long distance linear routes across the province and loop routes, suitable for day trips or weekends. You will find useful information on towns, attractions, bicycle repair shops and libraries for internet access while you are traveling plus a selection of the most convenient and best bed and breakfasts, inns, motels, camping and restaurants. There is information on wineries, theater, festivals, beaches, natural areas, historical sites, Mennonite and Native Canadian communities. The "Ontario Bicycling Route" has been included with consent. Customer Reviews "The Ontario Bicycle Tour Atlas was invaluable. Really liked the appendix at the back which listed places to stay with phone numbers. Very handy when you got in late to a town and the tourist info was closed to be able to phone one of the listed places and so easily get accommodation.... Thanks for all your hard work creating this great biking reference." C.E. June 26/08 New Full Colour Maps And Detailed Community Index The atlas has 125 pages with 92 pages of maps 1:250 000 scale, 1 page for Northern Ontario and 25 pages of needed information on all of the communities on the routes. Accommodation located close to the routes is listed. Priority is given to bed and breakfast listings and the Accommodation Partners that we have developed a relationship with. Luxurious inns and economical motels are also included. Those who wish to camp will find the information that they need. The restaurants listed are those that provide a unique dining opportunity or the best cuisine in the area. From our experience we know that you may need a bike shop while you are traveling and the opportunity to stay in touch through the internet. Since the community index is oriented to cyclists you will find that many towns have listings that are as extensive as those for large cities. Should you wish to spend more time in an area, tourism information sources are listed. Convenience stores along the routes are included for when you need something to drink or eat to keep you going. Bicycling Across Ontario We have helped many cyclists who want to bicycle across Ontario and have added all of the routes to the atlas. There is a choice of several routes across Southern Ontario and you will be pleasantly surprised how quiet and motor vehicle free many of the roads are, particularly if you avoid the larger cites and Provincial Highways. You can bike across Ontario between Manitoba, United States border crossings and Quebec. If you are planning a bike trip from United States you will find direct routes that you can use plus bridge or ferry crossing information. The routes connect to Quebec's Route Verte in several locations. Turn by turn route descriptions are available for some routes - contact us if you want this additional information.
