Helmets Helmets are strongly recommended for cyclists of all ages and abilities. In Ontario, every cyclist under the age of 18 must wear an approved bicycle helmet. Wearing a properly fitted CSA, ANSI or SNELL approved helmet will greatly reduce the risk of serious head injuries that can result from crashes or collisions.
The front of the helmet should cover the forehead. It should sit snug on your head, without fastening the chinstrap, and should not slip when you move your head. Sizing pads are provided when you buy the helmet which can help to adjust the fit. The straps should be adjusted to meet just below the ear, and fastened comfortably without choking. There should be enough room to fit one finger between your chin and the strap.
To provide maximum protection, the helmet should fit level and square on your head.
Loop Rides The following loop rides are suggested routes from urban areas to nearby scenic, rural and lower traffic volume roads. Some rides have a multi-use trail as part of the route or within the road allowance.
Cyclists are reminded to be aware of their riding skill and make their own evaluation of the actual conditions encountered. The starting / ending points correspond to general urban areas, not a specific parking area. All distances are approximations only.
