Cycling with the Library

Get ready for a summer of cycling with the help of your library.

As you ride your bike on roads and trails this summer, you may find that certain cycling resources can enhance your experience. Your library offers a variety of collections and items to help you gear up.

Guides to Adventure

Plan a cycling adventure in Ontario, Canada, or global destinations with guidebook titles Best Bicycle Park & Rail Trails in Ontario or Epic Bike Rides of the Americas. If you plan to spend your summer exploring Cambridge by bike, download a map of the Cambridge Bikeway Network or view the interactive online map.

Start a Fitness Journey

If you’re considering improving your cycling skills or fitness level for a new challenge, browse the collection for titles like Anatomy & 100 Stretching Exercises for Cycling or Yoga for Cyclists. Gain inspiration for your cycling journey from the experiences of other cyclists who have traveled before you. You’ll find books in the collection that share personal stories or historical accounts of biking adventures.

Gear up with Repair and Maintenance Help

Of course, it's all about the bike! Get your equipment ready with repair and maintenance handbooks from the library collection, including online magazines. You can also find valuable information and advice for your next cycling-related purchase through Consumer Reports magazine, available to members in the Virtual Library.

The Tool Collection offers a Bicycle Repair Kit that members can place on hold for at-home use. If your bike tires need a little extra air while you are at the library, each location has a Bicycle Floor Pump that you can borrow for on-site use. Many locations also provide bike locks if you need one for the day.

Grab your helmet, hop on your bike, and pedal to your library for cycling resources to get you moving this summer.
