Canada cycling provides an excellent opportunity to sightsee the country. Throughout Canada there are many highways and backcountry paved roads ideal for cycling that are attracting cyclists from all around the world.

Some roads are remote and see little traffic while others are popular transportation routes with heavy use. Within the communities in Canada there are, more and more, bike paths being developed for the ever growing cycle and biking communities.

Canada cycling communities often have cycling clubs which may be able to provide route maps and cycling information.
