GCN's Classic Rides | Vancouver - British Columbia: Canada's Cycling Hotbed

[@kazimirsmith]

i live in vancouver so it's so wonderful to get to watch a gcn video on streets that i ride on ...

[@LaughingSaint66]

The drone pilot needs a Raise !! Great job 🤙🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TOMLElog]

Seriously give a promotion to the guy who edited this video. Amazing and beautiful video!

[@larsborghouts8360]

Whilst still waiting for one or two replacements for Emma, nice to see Steph as a guest on GCN. More women on GCN please!

I Agree! Poor Manon :(

[@E.S.Franck]

“It’s incorrect to not be up here as a cyclist.” I can’t think of a more Canadian way to stress urgency!

[@nathanbaribeau2833]

Canada is the best place to ride BMX!! Gravel is just an otherway to distory a carbon-fibre frame even faster!!!!

[@f.t.o.pproductions1632]

Is marine drive safe to cycle on ?

[@ChromeStrand]

As North Vancouver resident and huge GCN fan, this episode is a pure enlightment. My two of my go to place, Horseshoe Bay(half of my strava post is horseshoe Bay route.) and the Cypress Bowl (My workplace/Training ground, talking about "casual" commuting😂) Glad you have enjoyed visiting in Vancouver!

[@lancaster5808]

Steph did an awesome job! She seems to be really kind, respectful and attentive. Maybe next GCN presenter? At least have her in some more videos! Nice job!

[@richardcheatham9490]

Sometimes you just look at something like this, and after numerous pauses to take it in you ask yourself "why aren't I living there?" So this video gets saved and watched again-and probably again. Thanks, GCN, for the lovely tour.

[@Grunchy005]

Visit first before you move there. All of Canada’s drug addicted and homeless already had the same thought, and it’s only getting better with drug legalization.

[@UrBuuuuudy]

Great place to live, although I'll warn you we get as much rain as Glasgow!

[@richardcheatham9490]

Thanks to Grunchy and UrBuuuuudy for the reply. Been tinkering here with the Canada fixation since a visit to the Banff area last year. You're right though, due diligence is much more practical than basing moving decisions on romantic and baseless assumptions. Thanks, again. Richard

[@gingleb3792]

Agree with all the comments I moved there on a work visa. When the sun is shining it's absolutely incredible and even watching this makes me want to go back. However it rains for about 9 months of the year and the down town areas drug problem is really out of control. If you ever want to go stick to the north shore it's wonderful.

[@richardcheatham9490]

Thanks, Matthew. It took much time to adjust to Atlanta's seemingly endless rain after so many decades in central Florida. I'll be a visitor up that way henceforth and in the dryer seasons. Cheers and safety to you in this risky era. Richard

[@jefferyclark7863]

Kudos to Steph! Natural in front of the camera and a great ambassador for our friends to the north

[@pacificcoltrane7652]

Vancouver - one of the world's finest cities. Great on two wheels, or legs.

[@jordangraff2254]

Musette, Stanley Park, Cypress, Red Truck, Kits.... And an obligatory Cervelo.... Definitely a Vancouver ride

[@Kelly42395]

Hahaha, Classic Vancouver rider

[@adamcoatham]

We went to Vancouver on holiday this time last year - an absolutely wonderful holiday destination, one of our very favourite places.

[@wallcentrevancouver]

We hope you have the opportunity to visit again!

[@chiefrocker12]

I always looked at European destinations as being the best road riding places, but watching this just reinstates how good I have it. These routes are my weekly rides. Man I got it good!! Well done GCN to show case this great city from a roadies perspective.

[@IcemanYVR]

I ride this route a couple times a month. One of the best rides anywhere. Amazing views and a solid workout.

[@LaughingSaint66]

Oh so she made the cookie you had to stop for on grand fondo 🤙🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a woman who cycles and bakes!! I’m in love 🥰😘

[@dennisuerling899]

I recall someone mentioning Vancouver when GCN asked about epic cycling they missed. Glad to see they have been able to get a ride in the area so more people could see how beautiful it is. Something else that was great to see is how polite the traffic is to cyclists.

Wherever GCN rides, the sun shines. I am wondering what special even they are putting together to celebrate 2 million Subs. That's gonna be magic!

[@psyck011]

They rode my daily bike commute! It really is a great place to be. Riding the bridge at 7am in the summer on a clear day is stunning.

[@ryanmcgechaen2103]

[@brianbuday8639]

I live here and love it. Four hour club ride this morning into the afternoon . Nicely tired and horizontal with my Labrador and mixed breed from Texas. Life is good.🚴🏼👍😎

[@frozenbean]

Don't forget the LSCR trail. That little 10k rip takes you through the woods out to the Seymour dam. The main trail is smoothly paved, and car free. There is a lot of gravel and easy double track, not to mention all the mountain biking. Jeremy would love it!

[@frozenbean]

@The Canada First Party uh... okay.

I've never heard of her before. But wow! Her eyes are captivating. And her smile just draws you in. I mean, beauty any way you look at it ....look at her. I mean guys must fall in-like with her every time they meet her. She is ....I'm speechless. Or is that textless? Anyway, wow. I live in Vancouver ....I'm not in her league when it comes to cycling shape, but to see them ride so far is amazing. And she seems to modest and humble as she did not want to talk about her own accomplishments of which I am sure there are many.

[@jerrygundecker743]

That young lady is delightful. I felt like she had a lot more to say about her town, (which I'm sure there is). I really want to see that town since it is so close to where I live and thanks to this video, seeing it on a bike looks like the best way.

[@LaughingSaint66]

Jerry Gundecker well there is a street near bay has many amazing eateries like death by chocolate which is fine dinning for only desserts !!! Amazing places to eat 👏🏼👏🏼😂

Vancouver real estate exists pretty much to launder Asian drug money. The city seems busy but a sizeable percentage of it sits vacant.

Went to that very conference centre in July 2012 for the World Veterinary Dermatology Congress. I took my bike from England on Air Transat (only £25 each way!) and enjoyed these very same routes whilst I was there! Did my longer rides in early morning 6 am and did both Horseshoe and Cypress Mountain. The smell from the Cypress trees on Marine Drive in the early morning was fantastic. On a couple of evenings did multiple loops of Stanley Park. Must be one of the best large cities in the world to live. Great memories of that trip.

[@glennoc8585]

Are there vet dermatologists? I would've thought skin disease it would just be small part of general practice tbh. Psoriatic disease in dogs who'd have thought.

[@davidbentley8634]

love cycling around Stanley Park in the early morning just as the sun rises!

[@bradcomis1066]

I’ve been living in Vancouver for a year and half now and I have to say there are some good road and gravel rides here, but the selection is pretty limited beyond the few good routes. It makes for a great weekend on the bike though. Riding the sea to sky highway is pretty brutal actually as the traffic is fast and busy and us cyclists are stuck on a tiny shoulder. Still, the drop bar riding is pretty rad here. Getting off the road though: The mountain biking here is absolutely incredible and offers the ultimate in variety.

[@jordangraff2254]

I ride from downtown to Chilliwack for shits and gigs.... Sea to Sky is pretty fun regardless of shoulders.... Hope you enjoy yourself here. Came from Winnipeg in 2008 so I know all about the adjustment period

I was chatting with my Brother in Law, who lives not far from the Musette Cafe, comparing Vancouver and Ottawa cycling. He pointed out there was not a single month in which he did not, at some point, ride in shorts. There were months where those days are few and far between but that is small consolation in mid February when my bike is firmly mounted in the trainer.

Beautiful! Would love to go and try it out. As always with our Canadian friends, it's just so laid back and looks so enjoyable! (Secretly jealous.)

Great video of my hometown and good route choice. For anyone thinking of visiting, other great routes include Deep Cove / Mount Seymour (about 12 km, 1000+ m elev), the Seymour Demonstration Forest (22 km return car-free route through the forest), and the flat trip to Steveston Harbour in Richmond, possibly the best year-round coffee ride ever. And yes, go ride in Victoria. It's unbelievable. And the Okanagan, where riding, wining and dining are inseparable.
