Portside

Easy Smooth surfaces and gentle climbing.

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 →

Portside follows Vancouver's waterfront for 10 km one way and 20 return, past gardens, pocket parks, and the working harbour's cranes and ships. Flat and family-friendly, with plenty of reasons to stop and watch the water.
