Cycle Windsor
Cycling is an excellent form of physical activity that also provides convenient, affordable and sustainable transportation. Regular physical activity is known to have positive impacts on our health, such as helping to prevent and treat health conditions, relieving stress and tension and assisting in maintaining a healthy body weight. Choosing cycling (or walking, running, in-line skating, skateboarding, scootering, etc.) as your mode of transportation also helps reduce traffic congestion and emissions and can improve mental health and provide positive economical impacts on personal lives as well as the community.
The City is committed to enhancing our cycling network and connecting communities by active transportation. Whether you plan to visit one of Windsor's beautiful Parks, explore tourism attractions (Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island), or make future plans to explore Ontario by Bike, always remember safety first – wear a helmet and brightly coloured clothing, use bicycle bells and lights, and follow the rules of the road. For cycling safety tips, check out the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) cycling safety guide.
