Bike Tour Vancouver

After a good night's sleep, we got up and dosed with Airborne. The bike shop is just a few blocks from the hotel, so we stopped at a Tim Horton's for coffee and a little snack on our way.

We got our bikes (I was the only one on an e-bike - I really didn't want to stress myself). It was an international assembly. Our guide was German (but she has lived in Canada for decades). Then there was a couple from Mexico, three people from Australia (a couple and a solo traveler) and us.

We biked through Stanley Park and then boarded a small ferry that took us over to Granville Island, where we had lunch in a food market. I was feeling good enough to split a beer with Russell for lunch.

Then we looped back through other parts of the city and ended up in Chinatown and then Gastown and back to the shop. All told it was about 6 hours and even with an e-bike, my legs were feeling it by the end.

The weather was cold and sometimes rainy, but it was never wet enough to be miserable.Read more
