Anybody ever ride there road bike on the Vancouver Seawall bike path?
We are planning on going to the Vancouver Seawall soon and was wondering if my road bike would be o.k. for that type of path? I have seen on video's that there is a lot of mountain bikes as well as cruiser bikes doing the seawall. Can you let us know what to expect if you have done the ride. Thanks!

Personally, I would suggest riding on the road around Stanley park and walking the seawall. Riding on the seawall seems like it would be an exercise in frustration to me.

I ride there all the time on my Defy and it has been fine. The scenery is spectacular and the crowd really does not bother me

Its like the same thing as Seattle's Greenlake which no serious rider would ever do unless its for people watching.
