Vancouver Cycle Home

The district of North Vancouver has a very good website for their mapping at gis.dnv.org. There is an on-line bicycle map in pdf format. Unfortunately it only includes bicycle routes in the District of North Vancouver and many of these bicycle routes are actually not the best route to take. (For example the map shows Arbourlynn as the bike route from Second Narrows up to Lynn Valley, but actually Hoskins Road is generally a better route for cycling.) For anyone cycling in North Vancouver the contour maps (West and East) are an invaluable asset when planning your routes. These maps also have the trails which is often very useful in finding an alternate route. Just watch out some of the trails have stairs or can be quite rough.

The City of North Vancouver's GIS website does not show bicycle routes on the layers of the map. There is some useful map of the Green Necklace trails at greennecklace.org, this is really only useful for recreational family riding, but it is a very nice interactive map.

The GVRD website has a map of the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, which is a very popular place for recreational cyclists with over 10km of paved trails.
