Bikes are an important part of the transportation system in Vancouver. Navigate the numerous cycle paths and bike routes, ranging from easy, flat terrain around Stanley Park to mountain biking on the famous North Shore. You can safely move through the city at your pace and see more than you would on foot or by bus. Vancouver's moderate climate makes it possible to cycle almost year-round. The city does have some steep hills and downtown traffic can be a bit much sometimes. Check out the City of Vancouver’s Bicycle Route Map & Guide to plan your journey. Remember, that British Columbia has a mandatory helmet law. The easiest way to get a bicycle is to sign up for the Mobi Bikes sharing system. Alternatively, you could join a bike tour.
