The West Dyke Trail in Richmond, BC, Canada,<\/strong> is a flat, six-km (3.7 miles) trail that\u2019s fun for the whole family. An ideal family cycling activity is to park close to the beginning of the trail, cycle 6 km to either Garry Point Park or the lovely fishing village of Steveston (which are right next to each other), stop for an ice-cream or some fish and chips, and then cycle back again.<\/p>\n

The city of Richmond is built on 18 islands, most of them at sea level, at the mouth of the 1,375 km long mighty Fraser River. To protect this low-lying\u00a0land, 60 km of dykes have been built. Some of them, such as the West Dyke Trail, have been turned into great biking and walking trails.<\/p>\n
