While Stanley Park is always a popular place to bike the Vancouver Seawall, the oceanside route that passes through Olympic Village is a pretty place to take a leisurely cycle—visit Granville Island, Kitsilano, or the city center on the paved route. Pick up a bike rental from the Mobi stand in Olympic Village—the bike share programs enables you to rent a bike and return it to one of the hubs that are found around the city.

Although technically not in Olympic Village, Granville Island is a short walk, bike ride, or kayak trip down the creek. It's worth a visit to see the colourful produce at the Public Market, check out the art and craft studios, and amazing seafood
