With an abundance of scenic and shoreline views—plus relatively flat topography—Richmond is a biking hot spot for cyclists of all skill levels. And with more than 80 kilometres (50 miles) of designated routes, you’ll also discover lots of camera-worthy urban, historic, and nature pit-stops en route. You might even spot birds, such as bright yellow Wilson’s Warblers or colourful Anna’s Hummingbirds. To promote bike tourism in Richmond, Tourism Richmond is collaborating with U-bicycle, Western Canada’s largest dockless bike share program, to offer visitors an alternative method to navigate the city. Go on, hop on a bike and enjoy Richmond’s many sights! See the back of the brochure for more information on U-bicycle.
