Not all buses have bikeracks, so check the schedule or call BC Transit customer service. Like all the Gulf Islands, Salt Spring is hilly and roads are narrow and winding. Be a courteous and cautious rider. Wait for motor vehicle traffic to clear before heading out from the ferry terminal. Keep groups small, ride single-file at the right side of the roadway when motor vehicles approaches from behind, and get completely off the roadway whenever you stop to rest or admire the views.
Cycling is the ideal way to explore the islands.
There is lots to see and do, including numerous art galleries and plenty of sheep. Pick up an Artist Studio Tour Map at the Tourist Information Centre in Ganges. The Gulf Islands have fragile environments so please don't litter or waste water. Relax and be friendly while visiting. Gulf Islanders pride themselves on their easy-going lifestyle.
