Here’s an easy ride that has a bonus of a ferry ride! It’s really a barge pushed by a tugboat, so that makes it all the better. Start at Surrey Bend Park and explore the trails, then bike onto the ferry and around Barnston Island. The road is flat and paved, there are views of the river and farms, and it’s especially fun in the fall during cranberry harvest. Bring a picnic!

Ride the rails in Richmond on the Railway Greenway. This rails-to-trails project follows the Lulu Island route of the British Columbia Electric Railroad connecting Vancouver to Steveston, a busy fishing community on the South Arm of the Fraser River. The Interurban trams ran from 1905 to 1958. Now it’s a popular greenway, safe and separated ― great for beginners!
