Q:
Hi. We will be visiting Vancouver this weekend and have about 3-4 hours to visit Stanley Park. Since we are staying about 1 mile from the park, trying to decide if we should walk over or drive and park in the park. I am concerned if we walk, it will take an additional 40 minutes and we may not feel like exploring as much in the park. If we drive, would it be difficult to find parking?
A:
Personally, I would take a cab. Cabs are cheap there. You can go just about anywhere for $15.00. Get there early as it gets crowded. Rent an E-bike from Spokes. They are just …

Q:
I am going to Vancouver in early November. Would it be too cold to do a bike ride around the park?

I suspect it will be quite chilly. Depends on what you are used to. If you are from a country that is warmish in Nov, then yes you will probably find it too cold. If you are from the northern US or England and are used to biking in November, then it will be similar to what you are used to. We were there in August and it was occassionally drizzly but warm enough that some hardy women had sleeveless tops on. It was around 70 F degrees. November is going to be considerably colder than that.
