Every season people take on the amazing challenge of biking across Canada.
Some are raising money for a cause or completing a lifelong dream, while others decided they stayed indoors too long during the winter and now want to spend three or four months with a bike seat shoved up their behinds, riding 9,306 kilometres under adverse weather conditions.
Such an unfathomable cycling distance is taken from Canada's most western point, the Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Provincial Park in British Columbia, and its most Eastern point, in Cape Spear, Newfoundland and Labrador. Most tours however, begin at Mile 0 in Victoria, BC and end by dipping their wheels in to the Atlantic at St John's, NL.
No matter what route you choose, to tour the entire country or a portion of it, we hope to assist your research with this website.
Bon tour!
When he gets home two years hence, provided he survives, he will no doubt have plenty of marvelous traveler's stories to tell, and he should have a rousing welcome. Truly, the world moves, and the bicycle is responsible for much that motion.
