Are you looking to go on longer ebike trips with your Zygg? Or want to get to know the Toronto cycling network a bit better? Keep reading, we’ve put together a list of resources for cycling in Toronto and Ontario.

Cycling Maps

First things first, getting acquainted with the bike lanes in your city is always a good idea. You can plan your route easily on Google Maps and choose the bike as your transportation option. It will automatically choose the bike lanes that are on your route or closest to the direct path to your destination.

You can also view all the bike paths in the city with City of Toronto’s interactive map to help you for your commute or for your next exploration of the city.

If you’re looking to travel by ebike outside of Toronto, we recommend Ontario by Bike. Select the region you want to explore and it will suggest different routes based on what kind of biking you’d like to do (road vs rual). It also has a list of bike friendly businesses in each of these regions for eating, sleeping and visiting.

Public repair stands

Zygg maintains your ebike and repairs any usual wear and tear. However, sometimes you just need a quick fix or to adjust your seat height. For this, you can use some of Toronto’s public repair spots. The TTC has bike repair stops along the subway line at over 20 stations that are free to use and always accessible. The non-profit Bike Chain also has public repair stands across the city.

Cycling Tips

CycleTO has put together a cycling handbook for riding in Toronto breaking down everything from how your helmet should fit to hand signalling to let your intentions be known on the road.

Speaking of hand signals, there are some unspoken cycling etiquette rules cyclists follow that are good to know for your safety and as well as others.
