10 Questions: Biking Across Canada
Canadian couple Scott & Becky left their home in Ottawa in 2008 to cycle around the world on recumbent bicycles.
As part of their 16 month trip, they biked all the way across Canada, including remote stretches in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Scott & Becky tell us about the highlights of their route across Canada, including seeing bear and moose in the west, meeting friendly people in the prairies and enjoying great value B&Bs in the east, all in this week’s 10 Questions: Cycling Across Canada.
And don’t forget to check out Scott & Becky’s blog, Going East – a journal of a trip not just across Canada but around the world, without using airplanes.

Hi
I live in Australia. I am 62. have cycled across Aus and more lately NZ. I intend to cycle across Canada on my own starting mid May 2011. I was wondering if you had a preferred route leaving Vancouver. Do you know which is the most mountainous, Hwy 1 or Hwy 3. Are there safe places to camp at night. Do you get hasseled by bears or any other wildlife.
I look forward to your response.
Have a great day.
Victor
Victor, have you seen the book / website Canada By Bicycle? It’s pretty helpful for route planning. We didn’t actually leave from Vancouver, so I can’t help you there. But Scott & Becky, who answered these questions, did. Perhaps they can advise better on routes. Their website is Going East.
