There are two short but fun routes on Lynn Creek on the North Shore. Upper Lynn Creek has a more advanced trail and you can connect to Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.
For a short and sweet ride explore Lower Lynn Creek. There’s a bike skills park in Inter River Park. Add on a short walk down Harbourview Trail and climb the viewing tower for a peek at the working harbour.
Bellingham has been busy building biking and pedestrian trails. The South Bay Trail runs along the historic waterfront from Fairhaven towards Bellingham. It’s an easy ride for kids from 1- 99. More...

Start from Deas Island Park and bike Millennium Trail to the Marina and back, or continue west and explore the town of Ladner. Return via same route or along the slough near Commodore. Enjoy a walk in Deas Island Park on your return.
Boundary Bay Park is a perfect place for beginning riders. There are many ways to enjoy the easy dyke trails. Start anywhere along the route or do the whole thing. Centennial Beach has an easy loop, Boundary Bay dyke trail extends 20km east of Beach Grove — ride them together for a 40km ride. Respect farm machinery — this is their working road. Boundary Bay is great for bird watching, keep your eyes open for eagles, snowy owls, herons, and migrating birds.
There’s lots to ‘see’ on Sea Island in Richmond. For those who like exploring and singletrack, arrive by Skytrain and follow the Fraser River trails to the Coast Guard station. Visit Flight Path Park and watch the hustle and bustle of the airport then loop through Burkeville’s quiet streets. If you’re feeling like more, add on a 5km loop around YVR terminal.
For a quiet ride with the kids, try Brunswick Point in Ladner. There’s lots of bird watching along the shores - keep your eyes open for flocks of ducks, fishing herons, eagles, and migrating birds. A great ride for those who like cycling on dyke trails amidst wildflowers and looking west over the straight of Georgia.
Sometimes when riding we think...where in the world are we? This was certainly true as we cycled along the Great Blue Heron Way in Tsawwassen First Nation. This is a little gem of a ride near the ferry terminal, there’s a new boardwalk and quiet side streets to explore. Big plans are in the works...but for now we were pleased to see a place where ducks lined the shores and wildflowers bloomed ― a quiet oasis just outside of the big city.
Explore the creeks of Coquitlam and Port Moody on this loop. Start from Town Centre Park in Coquitlam and ride the David Greenway through Bert Flinn Park, down April Road, along Alderside, and Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail. Stop for lunch at Newport Village, then wind through Scott Creek Trail and Hoy Creek Trail.
For a great city ride through New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver, take the BC Parkway. The mostly flat route follows the Skytrain most of the way. It’s 18km long from the Fraser River to Trout Lake. I start at 22nd Station, have lunch on Commercial Drive and take the train back. For a longer loop, connect with Central Valley Greenway.
This is an undulating ride and you’ll see why we call it Roller Coaster when you Wahoo! down Olund hill. It’s 40km of ups and downs, but mostly downs, and is one of our favourite rides.
The Alpe di Siusi Edelweiss Loop is one of the most scenic and accessible bike rides in the Dolomites, ideal for beginners, families, and e-bike riders. Located in the heart of South Tyrol’s Seiser Alm,...

If you build it, they will come! Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail bike path has been a success since the day it opened. Families come from all over to cycle this easy and fun route on a separated paved bike path around the end of Burrard Inlet. There are two paths - one for walking and one for bikes. The path is well marked with two-way directions. There’s lots to see – birds and wildlife, a fish hatchery, two parks, playgrounds, and there are many restaurants nearby.
