Vancouver By Bike

For such a bike friendly city, Vancouver's City by Cycle is the only bike based tour company in the area! This tour gets the legs pumping and the eyes bulging at the amazing sites you see on the tour. Here is a break down of the stops:
 
Stanley Park - The world's largest 'urban park'.
English Bay - Home of the Fireworks.
Granville Island via Aquabus - A one hour stop at Granville Island Public Market. 
Expo Lands - Host of the world Expo in 1986.
Yaletown - The new trendy spot in Vancouver.
Chinatown - 2nd largest in North America.
Historic Gastown - European feeling.
Coal Harbour - The cruiseships and new convention centre.
Riding a bike through a city is one of the best ways to truly get a feel for the area. You become a participant in the tour and not just a spectator. The freedom to get closer to an object, or fly past it is another benefit for the bike riders.
