Sortie rapide à vélo de Toronto à North York

If you’re looking for a casual city ride, the stretch from Toronto up to North York makes for a really pleasant pedal. You’ll kick things off right in the heart of Toronto—Canada’s largest city and a vibrant mix of neighborhoods, skyscrapers, and waterfront views. The route is nicely gentle, with a smooth 14 km of mostly asphalt riding that sticks to quiet roads and a sprinkle of dedicated cycleways.

As you wind your way north, the city slowly softens, trading downtown bustle for the quieter, tree-lined streets of North York. There’s just under 100 meters of gradual ascent, so it’s manageable for most riders, and you’ll only briefly touch on unpaved stretches.

North York itself sits at a bit of elevation and is known for its parks, cultural centers, and the ever-impressive Aga Khan Museum. Great as a commuter link or a relaxing weekend ride, this route lets you see how Toronto’s urban core effortlessly blends into its northern neighborhoods. Grab a coffee at either end—you’ll have earned it!
