Cycling continues to grow in Toronto as a viable mode of travelling throughout the city, according to a 2023 survey conducted on behalf of the City of Toronto. The survey found that utilitarian cycling (to commute to work, school or to run errands) continues to increase, with 51 per cent of survey respondents stating they cycle for utilitarian purposes. This is an increase in cycling rates compared to 20 per cent in 1999, 29 per cent in 2009, and 44 per cent in 2019.
The 2023 survey also highlights the importance of investing in and installing safe cycling infrastructure. 35 per cent of survey respondents stated that feeling insecure in traffic is the most common factor preventing them from cycling. 59 per cent of respondents have a strong preference for cycling infrastructure that creates a clear physical barrier between bikes and car traffic, such as concrete curbs, raised cycle tracks or poured-in-place concrete.

The research team and Research Co. conducted an online survey of 1,681 Toronto residents from October 31-November 7 and November 25 – December 5, 2023. The sample is geographically and demographically stratified to be representative of Toronto.
Dive into the previous survey data here:
The Toronto Cycling Network dataset contains the following types of bikeways: cycle tracks, bicycle lanes (including buffered bike lanes and contra-flow bike lanes), neighbourhood routes with sharrows (including wayfinding sharrows), multi-use trails (including off-road and in-boulevard), and signed cycling routes.

The City conducted a Micromobility Cordon and Classification Count in the fall of 2022. A cordon count is a study that measures the number of users that cross a prescribed boundary in certain locations within the City. The count recorded the number of people cycling and other micromobility users crossing two boundaries – an inner cordon bounded by Spadina Avenue, Bloor Street, Jarvis Street, and Queens Quay Boulevard, and an outer cordon bounded by Dufferin Street, the CP Rail Corridor (roughly adjacent to Dupont Street), the Don River, and Lake Ontario. It classified people cycling and other micromobility users crossing the cordon boundaries according to the type of bicycle or other micromobility device being used (e.g. e-bicycle, electric kick scooter, Toronto Bike Share), the apparent trip purpose (e.g. food delivery), and the type of infrastructure used (sidewalk, bike lane, or mixed-traffic).
