BC Parkway

There's a bike path running along the Skytrain route, from downtown Vancouver to New Westminster, about 25km away.  Yesterday I took the opportunity while Jenn was busy, to take go for a ride.


A lot of the way is on a path directly below or alongside the tracks, with a few departures along city streets.  Makes for a nice stress-free ride!


Nice big mural painted on a wall behind a community garden.

In a few places, the old rails from the tram lines are still visible.

The end of the line - and the "Inn at the Quay" hotel, up on stilts over the river.

I then took the easy way back, on the Skytrain.  It was a nice ride, and I plan to take it again, to take some more time to explore some things along the way.

I biked to work the last 2 days. Took me about 5-6 min. Just thought I'd say that. Not as cool as your trail though. Jim
