It’s active, healthy and FUN! If your family is like many Canadian families you search for activities where everyone can participate. A healthy, meaningful, shared experience for Mom, Dad and the kids! If you have bikes here it is!

As part of the Cyclebetes National Relay to raise funds and awareness for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, there will be a Family Bike Fest in Vancouver on September 4th. There’s going to be a scavenger ride, obstacle course, bike skills tips, a family ride, food, entertainment and more. Or if you’re feeling more adventurous, there is also the 150km Hope to North Vancouver bike ride or 50km Maple Ridge to North Vancouver.

Make sure you visit the Cyclebetes website and community rides section for details about the rides and how you can register.

Vancouver Cycling Route Planner

Just came across Cycling Metro Vancouver, a wicked mash-up for to help plot your cycling trip between any two points in Vancouver. A whole bunch of brainy research went into creating the map, that I won’t get into but you can read about here. The Cycling Route Planner uses Google Maps mapped against data on Metro Vancouver cycling routes. Cyclists can search for routes that are on designated/alternate cycling routes or that include major roads. You can also refine your search by looking for minimum elevation gains, air polution and shortest distances.

Once it’s plotted your route, you’ll find out your route length, estimated time, calories burned, elevation gain and how green your route is. You’ll also find out how much green house gas you’d prevent by cycling that path.

Totally cool!
