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.
