Going By Bike
Anonymous
One of my favorite things about living in Victoria is how easily I can access nature—by bike. The regional trail network, especially the Galloping Goose and Lochside, feels like a secret highway for cyclists. I glide past farmland, estuaries, forests, and creeks, all without ever getting in a car. The bridges—old trestles and sleek overpasses—carry me over rivers and roads, stitching the city to wild spaces.
Few places in North America offer this kind of seamless, scenic cycling infrastructure. In Victoria, getting from downtown to a beach, mountain or forest feels not only possible, but pleasant.
