Town of Essex Launches New Cycling Webpage

The Town of Essex is making it easier than ever for residents and visitors to discover the many cycling opportunities available throughout the community with the launch of a new Cycling in Essex webpage.

Developed in consultation with Share the Road, a local group of cycling enthusiasts from Essex County, the new online resource highlights some of the Town’s cycling routes and provides valuable information to help cyclists of all experience levels enjoy riding in Essex.

The webpage features information about cycling in the region, suggested cycling routes to help riders get started, details on bike lockers, safe cycling tips, and information about the scenic waterfront trails that connect Essex to neighbouring communities.

“Essex is a wonderful place to explore by bicycle,” said the Mayor of the Town of Essex. “Whether you're cycling to work, enjoying a leisurely ride through our beautiful communities, or visiting our waterfront, this new webpage provides the information and resources needed to get started.”

The Cycling in Essex webpage serves as a one-stop resource for cyclists looking to plan their next ride, learn about local cycling amenities, discover routes that showcase the Town’s unique landscapes and attractions, and explore the many wineries, restaurants, and local businesses in the community. The Town also offers overnight parking options, making it easier for cyclists to extend their stay and experience all that Essex has to offer. Learn more about overnight parking at essex.ca/parking.

The Town of Essex gratefully acknowledges Share the Road for its support and valuable contributions to this cycling resource.
