Lonely Planet names Vancouver world's 2nd best place for a Cycling Holiday

Now, that abundance has been recognized by Lonely Planet, which recently ranked Vancouver as one of the 10 best spots in the world to take a “cycling holiday.”

According to the travel publication, “Vancouver’s North Shore is a legendary place to ride mountain bikes. Situated a short drive from the city centre, steep tracks twist down through old-growth red cedars, aided by a range of man-made bridges and teeter totters (see-saws). The riding there will leave you giddy with laughter if your skills are up to it..”

Lonely Planet also notes that for those who are looking for gentler rides, “there are lots of cross-country trails about as well.”

Vancouver landed in second place on the list, right behind Siena, Italy, and right in front of Yorkshire, England.

The full list is as follows

  Siena, Italy
  Vancouver, Canada
  Yorkshire, England
  Stavanger, Norway
  Girona, Spain
  Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  Athens, USA
  Cape Breton, Canada
  Boulder, USA
  Chihuahua, Mexico
