The B.C. railway
industry's pain has fuelled
huge gains for cyclists. Since
the early 1990s, hundreds of
millions of dollars have been
spent on turning nearly 600
kilometres of abandoned rail
lines into public pathways,
many of which are now part
of the Trans Canada Trail.
What's driving this rails-to-
trails boom? The routes'
gentle gradients make for
easy off-road pedalling, and
as the routes connect local
communities, cyclists will find
no shortage of conveniences
along the way. Combine these
beginner-friendly rail trails
with the province's scenic
highways, and it's no wonder
trips to B.C. are on so many
cyclists' bucket lists. Here are
seven of the best routes to try
across the province this fall.
