The 2017 map includes 14 updated cycling route suggestions, developed in collaboration with local partners and cyclists, and a list of 98 Ontario By Bike certified businesses. A new section on trip planning, with reference to up-to-date road conditions, has also been included to assist cyclists with planning an adventure that is uniquely tailored to them.
