On my second day in Vancouver this visit, I decided to try an eBike. My daughter and I rented these a few times recently on other trips and really enjoyed them. This eBike even had a throttle on the handlebar, so technically you don’t even have to peddle, however, I found that peddling was still preferable occasionally when riding around other people or in traffic as it was more intuitable to start, stop, and navigate

With battery power, I figured I could ride quite a bit farther than I usually would, so I set out to cross the Lions Gate Bridge and explore the beaches and parks of West Vancouver across Vancouver Harbour. It was a little bit scary crossing that bridge on a bicycle, it is so high and windy with lots of traffic.
