Mountain biking in Simcoe County
May 13- September 5, 2022
From the days of the old Bone Shakers and Penny Farthings to modern Road and Mountain Bikes, Canadians have had a fascination and love of cycling since the 1800s. In the 19th century, cycling made a thrilling sport for young, affluent Victorian men, and created new fashions and opportunities for adventure for Victorian women.
Popularity for the sport has varied over the years, declining with the emergence of early automobiles, rising again in the late 1960s from a growing concern for the environment and fitness. The emergence of the mountain bike in 1982 encouraged enthusiasts in Simcoe County to create the first mountain biking activities in the area.
