This time of year has to be one of my favorite times. The blossoms and flowers are starting to come out everywhere,as Victoria flourishes in bloom. When you're out riding the fragrances allmost knock you off your bike. Their is a lot of different riding goes on in and around Victoia. As far as equipment goes you'll see just about anything on the road.
Road bikes are very popular in Victoria,you'll see all kinds,colors,shapes and price-ranges.
There's usually 3 or 4 road bike races a year here which will have race routes around the city and along the waterfront. You also see just as many mountain bikes here in Victoria. Mountain bikes are very popular these days. They got the ability to handle everything from road riding to riding in the bush. I personally use a mountain bike as all 5 of my kids have mountain bikes and we like to ride on the trails on occasion.
