Victoria, the capital of British Colombia has one of the driest climates in Canada as well as beautiful scenery, making it an ideal place for outdoor sports such as cycling. In recent years a number of trails have sprung up and attracted tourists from all around the world and it is now being hailed as the number one cycling capital of Canada.
When preparing to go cycling there are several things you need to take into consideration. These include the time of year and weather conditions so you can dress accordingly. It is recommended you bring a small rucksack packed with some essentials and perhaps an anorak, your camera and some snacks. A water bottle can be clipped onto the side of your bike.
You can either bring your own bike, or hire one from the many outlets when you arrive. But a bike is not the only transportation you will need, to get to the start of the cycling trails you will need to hire a rental car. Bike racks can be added on as an optional extra so you can have space to store luggage or take picnics if you need to.
Most popular trails include the Galloping Goose regional trial and the mountain biking trails at Mount Wok regional park.
