Three Great Family Bike Rides to Celebrate Bike Month

A few days ago, my friend Tonya & I got together to plan out some family bike rides for Bike Month in Vancouver. We'd love it if you'd join us on at least one of them! The rides will be family-paced & fun, sticking to routes appropriate for all ages & abilities.

Trout Lake Family Green Ride
10am May 30

To kick off bike month, we are going to start with a fun ride from False Creek to the heart of East Van: Trout Lake. If your kids are at the runner bike stage still, please bring them along: we plan to have a little bike parade all around the lake. Since it wouldn't be a parade without decorations & outfits, we're hoping you'll join us in wearing green (for bike month!) & decorating your bikes.

More details on the meeting point, route, departure time, etc are available on the Trout Lake Family Green Ride Facebook event page. Please RSVP so we know how many will be riding with us!

Plateau Park Ride
10am May 31

Day two of our Bike Month Kickoff Weekend features a ride from Science World to one of Vancouver's newest & coolest parks: Plateau Park, nestled in between Playland & Empire Field in Hastings Park. This park has some unique features that cater to all ages, from toddlers to teens to adults.

More details on the ride like route, departure time, etc are available on the Plateau Park Ride Facebook event page. We'd love it if you'd RSVP so we know how many will be riding with us!

Heron Ride & Picnic
10am June 13

Have you ever been to North America's largest urban heron colony? No? Well here's your chance! Ride with us along the gorgeous False Creek Seawall to the stand of trees near the Stanley Park tennis courts to watch these amazing birds. Nesting season is in full swing, so be prepared for some noisy squawking & some awkward heron chick antics. Following a little bird watching, we'll head a bit farther west toward Second Beach for a picnic.

More details on the meeting point, route, departure time, etc are available on the Heron Ride & Picnic Facebook event page. Please RSVP so we know how many will be riding with us!
