You've just entered paradise. Now, all you have to do is simply don your in-line skates, hop on your bike, grab your windsurfer, and take advantage of a golden opportunity. You never forget how to ride a bike. And that's a good thing because you may want to jump on one and tour around during your visit. Bikes are commonplace in this city and Vancouver has numerous cycle paths and bike routes, ranging from easy, flat terrain around Stanley Park to over-night trips around the Gulf Islands.
Cycling is perhaps the best way to explore Vancouver and the superb natural beauty.
Vancouver's moderate climate makes it possible to cycle almost year round. If you choose to tour around by bike, please be advised that Vancouver has a mandatory helmet law. No visit to Vancouver would be complete without a ride around the Stanley Park seawall. It offers spectacular views of the North Shore mountains and Lions Gate Bridge. Peddle beneath the giant trees in the park.
