Bike Routes

Clarington's bike routes help us promote and encourage active transportation. They are defined routes that are more bicycle friendly. Road width, traffic volumes and speeds, connectivity between other routes and trails, connectivity to amenities and destinations, etc., are all factors when deciding where to define routes. Typically, we choose routes that cyclists already use. Bike routes include bike lanes, shared roadways and separated pathways.

Cycling network

The Municipality's goal is to improve the cycling network to provide a safe and inviting environment that is welcoming to more users. We want to encourage people to change their mode of transportation from a car to a bike for short trips close to home as they commute several times daily or weekly (school, coffee shop, work, small convince type shopping). The cycling network is a work in progress and will be refined over time.
