Cycling from Vancouver to New Westminster<\/strong><\/p>\n

The days are warm and the evenings are long, and the season offers all sorts of opportunities to shake off the dust of winter. For many people, spring and summer in BC mean one thing: adventure.\u00a0<\/span>Mountaintop hikes, kayaking trips, bike camping, you name it. While there\u2019s no shortage of activities in the region, there are not always enough days in a week for multi-day trips to far-flung locales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conveniently for those of us who spend much of our summer in the city, Metro Vancouver offers a variety of great day trips \u2014 mini-adventures if you will \u2014 that combine two of the greatest aspects of summer in the city: urban bike exploration and patio season.\u00a0<\/span>From where I live in East Vancouver, there are a number of safe, reasonably beginner-friendly rides that \u2014 although not specifically designed to bring you to breweries \u2014 happen to do that job quite well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
