BC Cycle Tourism Society

Attractions guide for cyclists in British Columbia

Cycle tourism is not only about moving between overnight stops. The best rides also include places to pause, learn, refill, warm up, cool down, meet people, and understand the communities and landscapes you are travelling through.

This guide highlights attractions and community places that may be useful or interesting to cyclists in British Columbia, including visitor centres, museums, heritage sites, libraries, community centres, hot springs, galleries, and cultural stops. Practical details matter here too: bike parking, water, washrooms, opening hours, admission requirements, and whether a stop is easy to visit by bike can all affect whether it belongs in a cycling itinerary.

Use this page to understand what kinds of attractions appear in the directory, then open the interactive directory to explore stops by community, category, or route.
