I can only speak from the eastside of the bike path:

It is huge. It is gorgeous [with gorgeous views. It is lavish green. It is awesome. I just think it'd be nice if the whole outskirts wasn't just one-way going counter-clockwise. It looks like a line…More »

Given how it's winter, selection becomes seasonally limited (for the uninformed). The Vstrom 600 or the motard-style Kawasaki 250... I did the 600 last time, so to mix it up I get the 250 - see pic! It's a cool bike and would've sounded sweet with an…More »

Great value and decent selection of bikes located at a cargo container. It's right on the waterfront trail which can lead you straight into Stanley Park. I also got to ring a ding the bike bell. They stop renting 30 min(?) before closing.

Definitely a great value for inexpensive lodging. It may not be for everyone, though, if you're not cool with sharing a dorm style room (private rooms available for higher price, I think) with up to 3 people. The bunks were decent enough, but…More »

Spontaneous Richmond roaming... here I go.
Quieter afternoon. I sat up front (back) and got some Tofu Curry with rice. Simple and tasty, just how I like it. Near SkyTrain.

Ooh! Cool...
Tracy P below me said most of what I was thinking... it also has a quieter and more relaxed vibe since it's just off the main drag and near residential complexes.
I craved some late night munchies the night of the Canucks game, but they…More »

Located just in the main entry to the Public Library. Staff was pleasant and helpful when I asked about their chai. Neat snacks and food, too. Sausage and chicken rolls(?) were different, but ok. Decent seating options around the back, too.
