Because of its colder climate and short
summer season, it is not surprising that
the provinces in the lower part of Canada
are more popular with cyclists than those
in the north. Alberta, British Columbia,
Ontario, and Quebec are the most popular
provinces with cyclists.
Route Verte, with 2,300 miles/3,600 km of
bicycle paths and lanes, makes cycling in
Quebec very popular and enjoyable, while
in Victoria and Vancouver Island you will
find some of the most bicycle-friendly communities
in North America.
