If youve ridden a rut into the routes around Stanley Park, consider exploring Vancouvers neighbouring regions. Most destinations are accessible by transit and a bit of pedaling. Bring along a Metro Vancouver Cycling Map.
Burrard Crossing. Complete a circle route on the North Shore by riding through Stanley Park and crossing the Lions Gate Bridge. In North Vancouver, ride west on the Spirit Trail to Lonsdale Quay. Break for pie, then board the SeaBus back into Vancouver.
The Fraser River. Pedal south on the Inverness Bikeway. Explore the north bank of the Fraser River by following the Kent Bikeway west or east; or cross the Knight Street bridge and follow the Fraser Rivers south bank on River Road. Retrace your route to return to Vancouver.
Steveston Historic Site. In Richmond, join the West Dyke trail at the mouth of the Fraser Rivers Middle Arm. The flat, gravel dyke follows the shoreline southwards into the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site in Steveston.
Delta and Boundary Bay. Aim for Tsawwassens Boundary Bay Regional Park, then follow the dyke trail east as far as the railway bridge. Watch for shore birds and flowers.
Pitt Lake. By bike, bus or transit, head to the east side of the Pitt River Bridge. Ride Pitt Meadows back roads and dyke trails northeast to follow the Pitt River to its source.
