How to plan the ride

Confirm public bicycle access, road or trail status, surface and current local advisories before publishing a detailed itinerary or GPX. Remote weather, construction, wildfire conditions and industrial traffic can change the practical ride quickly.

- Use high-visibility gear and strong lights in rain or fog.
- Confirm local access and ferry details before riding between communities.
B.C. cycling rules still apply: obey traffic controls, ride in the permitted direction, use required lights and reflectors after dark, and wear an approved bicycle helmet. On shared paths, slow down around people walking, dogs, children and other riders; local bylaws or park rules may add extra restrictions.
