This is a varied route, mostly flat and largely on separated cycleways. There are a few block where we will be in “painted" bike lanes on roads, and a small section toward Finn Slough where we will be on a roadway without official bike lanes, but it is not usually at all busy during weekdays. Shell Road is a bikeway, partly graded and compacted gravel.

Newcomers interested in participating should contact Graeme Wynn wynn@geog.ubc.ca prior to the ride.

If you are joining this Easy Riders outing, please recognize that you do so voluntarily for recreational purposes.   It is your responsibility to ensure that your bike is in good running order and thoroughly roadworthy. You must wear an approved cycling helmet, ride in a safe manner and obey all road traffic signs and rules. We are the Easy Riders - we will try to maximize use of protected bike lanes, local street bikeways, and painted bike lanes on our routes but some use of Shared Use lanes may be necessary. Generally we will try to follow Metro Vancouver’s  AAA (All Ages and Abilities) routes.  Inclines are unavoidable if riding any distance in Vancouver. Individuals should be careful not to over-exert themselves or ride beyond their comfort zones. We will have a designated route and accommodate those who need to dismount and walk or proceed.
