Cycling & Biking in the Okanagan Valley

It drose-valley-falloesn't get better than this! Riding a bike in Okanagan Valley is truly a blessing and everyone from road cyclist, to mountain bikers can find some where to ride.

The main cities that provide the most riding oppotunities in the Okanagan are:

  • Kelowna
  • Osoyoos
  • Peachland
  • Penticton
  • Salmon Arm
  • Summerland
  • Vernon
  • Westbank

Riding season in the Okanagan starts from early March to late October. Generally the weather can be very mild during the winter months and it is not uncommon for locals to sneak a few rides in the off season.  There are many group rides for road and mountain and more information can be found at most bike shops or on our website.

The Okanagan Valley has a very dry and hot climate during the summer months which is one of the reasons why so many people from all parts of the world come to visit and play.  Mountain biking can be very dry and dusty and we suggest riding early in the morning to just before noon.  After a nice ride you can visit one of the many beaches located around the valley to cool off!

Motorist are not always bike aware so please ride with caution even though there are bike specific lanes throughout most of the Okanagan cities.  When riding on main roadways please ride single file and always obey all traffic laws!
