Experience Victoria By E-Bike

Ride through downtown on an electric-enhanced bicycle that will boost your pedal power and reduce the physical demands. After a brief orientation on how best to maximize the experience, you will ride off caravan-style on your e-bike through various urban landscapes that will reveal the true character of Victoria. The city is considered the Cycling Capital of Canada, a title that Queen Elizabeth II first bestowed more than 20 years ago in recognition of Victoria’s “network of urban and wilderness trails and dedicated cycling corridors.” You will follow the guide into areas of great historical and cultural significance, including the Inner Harbour. Its architectural treasures include the neo-baroque, blue-dome Parliament Buildings and the grand château-style Fairmont Empress hotel. You will also pedal through the beautifully landscaped Beacon Hill Park, a waterfront urban oasis that is the western terminus or Mile 0 of the nearly 5,000-mile Trans-Canada Highway.
