Butterfield & Robinson Launches New Urban Bike Trips in Canada
Butterfield & Robinson's new four-day Vancouver biking trip uses the Fairmont Pacific Rim as its base and offers biking along seawalls, historic neighbourhoods and through true wilderness, as well as the chance to stop and enjoy inventive West Coast cuisine. The bike routes range from easy to moderate–and B & R Guides can modify the routes for different abilities and interests.

“Vancouver is a biker's paradise and the casual elegance of the Fairmont Pacific Rim–and their new fleet of BMW bikes makes this the perfect base to launch the inaugural urban Butterfield & Robinson biking trip," Norman Howe, president of Butterfield & Robinson, tells us.

In partnership with German automaker BMW Group, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts offers guests complimentary access to top-of-the line bicycles at its portfolio of world-class hotels around the globe. A healthy and environmentally-sound way to get out an experience Fairmont's diverse locations, lock and helmets are also provided to keep both guests and bikes safe and secure.

On the other side of Canada, B&R is also offering new biking trips along the Niagara Wine Route. Recognized as one of Canada's premier winemaking regions and a must-experience destination among the locavore crowd, the ride makes stops in many of the picturesque towns that dot the region, notably Jordan and historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. This four day adventure is available in September or as a private or corporate getaway.

"The Niagara Region has so much to offer in terms of culture, cuisine and landscape; now there is a B&R trip that showcases them all," George Butterfield, founder of Butterfield & Robinson, tells us. "I have been biking through the Niagara region for many years; the quality of food and wine is unprecedented."

The biking trips in Vancouver and Niagara are complemented by the recently announced Augusta Masters walking trip and a series of corporate and Bespoke options across North America which include: Vail to Aspen, Moab to Telluride, The San Juan and Gulf Islands, New Orleans and Las Vegas.
