Begin your bike tour in the heart of Vancouver, then take a scenic ferry across False Creek to explore lively Granville Island.
Pause optionally to explore the Public Market and marina, visit local art studios, or take waterfront photos.
Cycle through Olympic Village, once the athletes’ quarters and now a laid-back stretch where locals live, stroll, and soak up the views.
