Vancouver is a terrific city for gourmets, with a fabulous range of restaurants, bars and markets.
But is is also noteworthy for how healthy its citizens look. I can't recall having visited anywhere where there are more joggers, cyclists, skateboarders and power walkers.
Vancouver is very cycle friendly and one of the best ways to explore it is on two wheels, say the good people at Destination Vancouver.
Whether you want explore the city's neighbourhoods or get out on some local trails in the urban oasis of Stanley Park, there are 440 kilometres of dedicated bike routes allow for safe and easy urban riding.
Cycle routes include the seawall around Stanley Park and False Creek and urban lanes through the downtown core, Yaletown, the West End, Coal Harbour.
Cycle City Rentals and Tours offers tours led by story-teller guides that provide a local’s insight, while self-guided maps with insider tips are available for those who prefer exploring on their own. The two downtown locations have a wide selection of bikes and accessories.
Spokes Bicycle Rentals is conveniently located at the entrance to Stanley Park. Pick up a cruiser, hybrid or the newest mountain bike with helmet and lock and head off to explore the park and the city.
