Bike the Bridge

Ambitious A real undertaking. Demanding on a couple of fronts, like rough surfaces plus steady climbing, or a long stretch on busier roads.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

Bike the Bridge loops 20 km between Vancouver and the North Shore along seaside paths and waterfront, crossing the inlet by bridge one way and returning by SeaBus. Flat, scenic, and family-friendly, with the harbour views doing most of the entertaining.
