Pedal your way to breathless.

Cycling

Nova Scotia has many secondary roads off the 100 series highways suitable for scenic touring. With a landscape that encompasses mountain highlands, river valleys, rugged seacoast, low-lying dyke lands, historic small towns and bustling cityscapes, this is a cyclist’s paradise.

Whether it’s a cycling tour, group ride or a solo outing down quiet country by-ways, you’ll find it here:

  • Meet up with Velo Halifax Bike Club for one of their Sunday rides that begin and end in the city every Sunday from March through November. 
  • Sign up for a Bike & Yoga tour of the province’s historic and scenic South Shore led by renowned tour operators, Freewheeling Adventures.
  • Experience the world’s highest tides in the Bay of Fundy and enjoy the jaw-dropping scenery along the Minas Basin when you book a Kayak, Hike and Bike tour that takes you from the quaint streets of Wolfville to the isolated beauty of Cape d’Or.

For a real challenge, take a trip by bike around the Cabot Trail, one of the most highly-rated cycling routes in the world. Tackle the terrain with gusto, or take the sightseeing by van option when the elevation is too challenging.
 
As you pedal along the shore by the sea, past vineyards, through old-growth forest, past ancient apple orchard and up through soaring Highlands, keep an eye out for watchable wildlife such as moose, eagles, deer, and whales playing in the bay.
