Touring the Vancouver Biennale by Bike

October 6, 2009 | Tips from Travellers > Vancouver, Festivals & Events

The Vancouver Biennale is a series art installations around the city and the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition partners up with the Bienalle on its official opening for the "bikenalle" which is a bike tour of the installations that allows you to view the art and also see a lot of Vancouver. I decided to hop on my bike and take the tour.

I thought it was a great way to ride the seawall that now goes almost all the way around downtown.  I saw parts of the city that I hadn’t seen in years, the art was fantastic and I was reminded how beautiful and bike friendly Vancouver actually is.

I went down to Vancouver's Plaza of Nations for the Ultimate Saturday of the 2009 World Police and Fire Games. There I watched the Dragon Boat races and the Ultimate Firefighter competition and asked a few of the competitors what they thought of Vancouver.  What an amazing event!

I took a trip out to Burnaby to watch some of the free events during the 2009 World Police and Fire Games. With over 10,000 athletes participating from 56 different countries in all sorts of events that are all free to the public this is definitely worth checking out.
