Pictou County is cycle-friendly, with a large network of cycling routes and groups. You can take a leisurely cycle on our roads or trails, or connect with local cycling groups to push yourself and find some cycling pals. TIP FROM THE LOCALS We recommend checking in with Pictou County Cycle on Westville Road, or with the Pictou County Y Tri-Club for fun-focused fitness training for triathlons. When you’re exploring the outdoors, make sure to respect our natural habitat and wildlife. Learn more about local animals and tips on page 76.
