02.08 - Vancouver - bicycle trip

If you are in Vancouver, by all means rent a bicycle. We even got really good mountain bikes with disk breaks, which are a pleasure to ride. Vancouver has a lot of bicycle trails and it's a law to wear a helmet. We did a 30km ride around the city and in Stanley park, where the track goes on the ocean coast and under the shade of trees. The best time is in the morning as it's still 25 degrees, whereas later it gets as hot as 30 and tracks get busy if it is a weekend. The best view on the Vancouver skyline is in Stanley park where the statue of Harry Jerome (1st athlete to run 100m in 10 seconds flat in 1960) is located. The seawall views are also very stunning.
