…Trail!
For a fun and easy ride head over to the North Shore and enjoy the Spirit Trail. The well-signed route is a safe and separated pathway with lots to discover along the way. Ride to the end of Burrard Pier for view of Vancouver City, explore Lonsdale Quay Market, and visit beaches along the way.
The Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail - BMUT is fine anytime of the year, but especially on crisp fall days riding through piles of leaves. It’s an easy route - mostly flat on a paved and separated greenway. There are lunch options at Burnaby Mountain Golf course or along Hastings Street.
On this loop you’ll ride past heritage houses, explore Queen’s Park, discover Pier Park, visit Westminster Quay, and see the riverfront. The ride is great anytime of the year, especially in the spring when the cherry blossoms are out, and in the fall riding over crunchy leaves.
Circle False Creek on the popular Seaside Greenway. The path is separated from cars making it fun for cyclists and pedestrians. Explore Granville Island and shop at the Public Market, then take your bike on Aquabus to continue the loop on the north shore of False Creek.
