You’ve seen the mountains. You’ve ridden the park. Now it’s time to go deeper with an urban bike ride through some of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods. Let your local guide tell you the stories of the heroes who shaped Van City.

Start at English Bay, the former home of Vancouver’s Citizen of the Century. Travel east along the seawall to Yaletown’s shimmering chandelier. Stop on the turntable and see the first train across Canada. Hear about the true heroes of Canada’s rail system, before riding past the stadium where it all started for Pamela Anderson. Witness the steam clock blast in Gastown, hear about Mr. Chi Pig’s punk legacy and learn about Mary Lee Chan, a social activist who did more for our city than any urban planner.

Ride the south side of False Creek past Science World and through the Olympic Athlete’s Village. Finish on Granville Island, with a stroll down the aisles of the Public Market. Grab a quick donut at Seth Rogen’s favorite circular pastry shop, before heading back to English Bay Bikes.

This bike tour is the ideal companion piece to our Stanley Park Discovery tour. If you want the whole story, not just the panoramic views, come ride the gritty streets of Van City with a guide who can show you more than just the seawall.
