Rent a bike or e-bike in Vancouver and follow a flexible self-guided route through Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville Island, and False Creek.
“The check in line was crowded when we arrived an hour after the store opened, but the staff kept things moving swiftly.

The map they shared was more than sufficient to navigate on our own and at our own preferred pace, stopping for view points, food and rest. This was the first time using an e-bike and it was easy to learn.”
