History
St. John’s is one of North America’s oldest European-settled ports; Signal Hill and Cape Spear played key roles in fisheries, navigation, and early wireless communication.
Conservation
Stick to paved and designated bike routes to limit erosion on fragile headlands; using e-bikes cuts per-capita emissions but keep group sizes small and pack out all waste.

Lock and park in town
Bring or use provided locks when stopping in Quidi Vidi or downtown; popular spots attract foot traffic and curious passersby.
