Guide overview

Why Richmond works well for family bike rides

Richmond is a good place for a family ride because many routes are flat, scenic, and easy to keep flexible without overplanning the day.

The best family plan is usually simple: choose one easy route, add one or two fun stops, and leave enough time for snacks, photos, and breaks.

Whether your child is ready for their own bike or you prefer a trailer for a younger rider, this page helps you choose the better fit before you head out.

Easy family ride ideas

Plan the ride around your family, not the longest route

Use this page to decide whether kids bikes or trailers fit better, then choose one easy Richmond route that keeps the outing relaxed.

Kids Bikes

For children comfortable riding on their own — short, flat rides around Steveston, Garry Point Park, and the waterfront paths.

Bike Trailers

For younger children or kids who tire quickly, so the whole family can keep riding without stopping early.

Steveston Village + Garry Point Park

The easiest family loop — short, flat, and scenic, with a park and driftwood beach at the turnaround.

West Dyke Trail

Flat and open with lots of room. From the shop, riding north toward the airport and back is about a 2-hour round trip — shorten it however you like.

Terra Nova

A natural destination kids can look forward to, with open space and play areas at the north end of the West Dyke Trail.

Railway Greenway

A connected, mostly car-free Richmond route when you want to ride beyond Steveston Village.
