For many moons, Edmonton/oil town...

If we do venture over to Vic, is there a reputable bike rental place? Is it safe to bike from the downtown area over to the fairburn area?

Just 2 stores down from Cascadia Bakery is Reckless Bike Store. They rent bikes.

We live near a Reckless Bike Store in Vancouver just down the street from us.

I've never cycled in Edmonton but have been there once pre-cycling days. I did do a certain amount of cycling in Calgary when I visited city when my partner was working there for 2 years. Yes, we did do some cycling and hiking in the Rockies several times.

CC: yes, I know of a couple of places in Victoria that rent decent bikes, or I might have a couple you can borrow depending on your size and what you like to ride.

Do you mean the Fairburn school area of Vic? I grew up around there. You can ride to that area almost the entire way from downtown very safely on the Goose and UVIC connector trails.
