Choosing a Route
Getting to work by cycle isn't going to be the same experience as getting there by car or bus, so
the best route for them might not be the best route for you.
Things to consider when choosing a route include:
How much traffic is on a street? Quieter streets
make for a more pleasant ride.
How wide is the street? Wider streets leave plenty
of room for cyclists on the sides.
How many hills are along this route? Hills can be
fun going down, but take some extra effort getting
back up! Steep hills can be a little tricky going
down, especially in bad weather.
You might also want to talk to a friend, neighbour
or co-worker who bikes on a regular basis and
discuss good routes.
To get started planning your own route, take a look at the maps of bikeways & pathways from
the City of Calgary's web site at www.calgary.ca, keyword
"Bikeways
