Thorold  – A Bicycle Friendly Community

In August 2010, a bike friendly communities program was launched in Canada by the Share the Road Cycling Coalition in partnership with the Washington based League of American Bicyclists. The City of Thorold has since received a bronze designation by the program.

While cycling the Greater Niagara Circle Route, Thorold is the perfect place to stop. The Lock 7 Viewing Centre is located along the Welland Canal Parkway Trail. From there you can ride .8 km through our tree-lined streets as you make your way to our Historic Downtown to friendly shops, cycling friendly accommodations, restaurants and cafés. Several bicycle racks are installed in the downtown area for your bike parking convenience.
