Bike riding is both my favorite method of exercise and my favorite way to see a city. 🚴🏼‍♀️ What about you? 🚲 As long as there are good bike paths and/or a well laid out system to accommodate bikers into the flow of traffic, I'm game to get on two wheels and explore. No matter whether it's my first time or fifth time in a city. The first time I visited Vancouver, I only walked around and I didn't get to take in very much of the city as a consequence, so this time I was so excited to get the chance to explore so much more when I was asked to bike as part of the project I was in town to work on for @explorecanada! There are 10 kilometers (6 miles) of bike path just in Stanley Park alone, which go along the lovely Seawall @inside_vancouver and while we didn't have enough time for me to do the full circuit what I did ride was enough to convince me it's a must. You start, and end, fully in the city but within minutes you only have the ocean inlet to your right with a lighthouse, rocky outcroppings and one bridge the only things to punctuate the view. It's a one way ride and it's now one of my favorite bike paths in the world! Early September it was also still warm enough during the middle of the day to complete the ride without a jacket. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and do it again right now! #ExploreCanada #VeryVancouver
