Canada Guide
Getting around
By bike
City cyclists are reasonably well catered for in Canada: most cities have cycling lanes and produce special maps for cyclists, and long-distance buses, ferries and trains will allow you to transport your bike either free or at a minimal charge. An interesting on-going project is the development of a coast-to-coat cyclepath, the Trans Canada trail ( 
www.tctrail.ca ), sections of which are already ready for cyclists. The Canadian Cycling Association (CCA; 
613/248-1353, www.canadian-cycling.com ) has information on cycling throughout the country and publishes several books, including the invaluable Complete Guide to Cycling in Canada. Standard bike-rental costs are around $15 per day, plus a sizeable cash sum or a credit card as deposit; outlets are listed throughout the guide.
