Quick ride by bicycle from Toronto to Concord

Here’s a great cycling route if you’re heading north out of Toronto up to Concord! Starting in downtown Toronto, you’ll quickly leave the city’s bustle behind and make your way through quieter neighborhoods and leafy residential streets. Most of the 19.6 km ride is on smooth pavement or asphalt (over 95% paved), so you’re in for a comfortable cruise, and a good chunk of it—about 71%—takes you along quiet roads, with some designated cycleways and peaceful paths mixed in.

Elevation isn’t too demanding, with gentle hills—perfect for an energizing ride without breaking the bank on leg power. You’ll pass through York Region as you make your way toward Concord, an area known for its mix of suburban parks and growing business centers.

Concord itself is part of Vaughan, known for things like the massive Vaughan Mills shopping mall and lots of green space. It’s a great spot to stop for a coffee, recharge, or explore before heading back. All in all, this is an approachable and interesting route for cyclists of most skill levels!
