Vancouver > Recreation
> Biking & Blading
Vancouver takes its biking seriously. Special pathways for
people-powered wheels weave throughout the city in addition to
mountain bike trails on the North Shore Mountains, and less
strenuous trails along the dykes in Richmond. The 5.5 mile
Stanley Park Seawall is a must, as is the 9 mile seaside route
leading from False Creek, through Granville Island and on to
Vanier Park. Wearing safety helmets in mandatory in British
Columbia.
Rentals, including maps and safety gear, are available at
