Overview

Ottawa offers a network of safe and scenic bicycle paths ideal for exploring by bike. This self-guided cycling tour provides a lightweight hybrid city bike, helmet, lock, and a customizable map to navigate the Ottawa-Gatineau region independently.

The tour typically lasts between two and four hours, allowing flexibility in pace and stops. Participants begin by arriving at Escape Bicycle Tours and Rentals at 65 Sparks Street, located near Parliament Hill and the National War Memorial. The rental point is on a pedestrian street and requires arriving five minutes before the scheduled start time. All taxes, fees, and handling charges are included.
