Biking is popular all over Canada, and some people choose to ride their bicycles to work or school. Bikes can maneuver around cars, and their riders can sometimes arrive at their destination more quickly than those driving cars. People also like to ride their bicycles because it is environmentally friendly and good exercise.
Provinces and territories, and sometimes their cities, have laws about bicycle helmets; you should make sure that you know the rules where you're biking in order to avoid paying a fine. Contact the municipal government or city hall of your town or city for information specific to your community.
Some cities have bike lanes which are designated bicycle-only lanes, and many cities and towns maintain recreational bike paths and trails that wind through parkland.
