Click an orange waypoint to see one of dozens of great local transit stops to get dropped off at and ride your bike. Toronto, Durham, Lake Simcoe, Burlington, Hamilton or West Niagara - every dot makes for a great daytrip that's easy on your budget and our environment.

BikesandTransit.com promotes local tourism - and new inter-modal travel behaviours - to help you get more out of local bike lanes, bikeways and bike trails, by connecting up with municipal and regional transit.

This - year 3 - the website has been updated to take advantage of new satellite mapping techniques - and is now compatible with Google Maps, Google Earth, and Garmin GPS personal navigators.

Download, print up, and try these first 3 bikes and transit rides for 2010 - many more coming soon! (Garmin GPS downloads at bottom of page.)
