Biking in Stanley Park

Biking in Stanley Park is a very popular thing to do. What better way to see the third largest urban park in North America.

Stanley Park has a Seawall that cyclists can go around along the waterfront. It takes about 1-2 hours to go around the park on bike.

You have to travel in one direction counter clockwise.

It’s easy to rent a bike if you are visting Vancouver and didn’t bring one with you. There are many bike rental shops located on Denman Street near Georgia Street which is practically bordering the park. Two of the biggest bike rental shops are Spokes and Bayshore Bike Rentals.
