Supplies guide for cyclists in British Columbia

Supply stops are some of the most important services on a bike trip. For touring cyclists, a grocery store, convenience store, dollar store, pharmacy, or outdoor gear store can mean dinner, breakfast, snacks for the next climb, water, sunscreen, batteries, toiletries, or simply peace of mind before a long stretch with few services.

This guide highlights supply listings that may be useful to cyclists travelling in British Columbia. We look for practical details that help riders plan: whether a stop sells basic groceries or ready-to-eat food, if you can get camping fuel or ice, whether there are washrooms nearby, and whether bikes can be parked or watched easily.

Use this page to understand how supply stops fit into the We Welcome Cyclists directory, then open the interactive directory to search for groceries, snacks, drinks, and practical supplies along your route.

The We Welcome Cyclists directory includes 2,708 supplies stops across BC.
