Biking & Walking in Downtown Burlington
You can easily explore the entire Downtown core on foot or by bike! Downtown Burlington has achieved our Ontario By Bike™ business area certification! The goal of this initiative is to create a positive experience and fuel your desire to get back on the saddle to explore more of Ontario By Bike.

A business or location that has been certified as bicycle-friendly means cyclists can count on secure bike lock-up areas, local cycling information on-hand, healthy local food options, access to rest areas and water and basic bicycle repair toolsets (accommodation only).
