Biking

Yes, the North Shore is world famous for its mountain biking trails, but riders will also find plenty of scenic routes on the North Shore's hilly roads and streets.

The novice rider will love the paved, 10-kilometre, vehicle-free Seymour Valley Trailway through the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. It's perfect for both biking (for those as young as eight) and inline skating, and offers spectacular views of Mount Seymour. If you're feeling really energetic both Cypress and Seymour Mountains have paved roads all the way to the top with spectacular views along the way.
