150 810 Quayside Dr. New Westminster, British Columbia
(604) 521-4669

Bike renters hop on a Devinci or Trek comfort bike to navigate the wildlife along the Quay Boardwalk and other riverfront paths or to explore the urban history of New Westminster. The guided tour sweeps cyclists along the Queensborough Loop, with informative and anecdotal stops along the 18-kilometre circuit. All options include rain gear, if needed, and a helmet that the staff cleans after each use with high-pressure steam or a waterfall.

Fraser River Bike Tours & Rental’s Tom Littlewood has been an avid cyclist for nearly 30 years. When the former psychologist first hit the roads of New Westminster, especially the Queensborough Bridge, the most common sight was of big rigs as they rumbled past. Now, with bike-friendly routes such as the Queensborough Loop being built along the Fraser River, Littlewood and other cyclists hear not the roar of traffic but the bark of sea lions as they park themselves on the shores for a front seat at the salmon runs. Eagles, heron, and other wildlife also congregate during runs, forming a rich, natural tapestry that cyclists pedal by on one of Tom’s bike rentals, often during guided tours.

At first, biking for Tom was not a passion, but a prescription. At 33, his doctor gave him a choice—undergo open-heart surgery or saddle up on a bicycle. Tom soon incorporated his prescription pedalling into both his personal and professional life. He began advising his own patients, who were afflicted with anxiety or sleep disorders, to cycle for the exercise, the fresh air, and the sassy feeling of wearing spandex in public. Later, he worked with disadvantaged children to teach them bicycle mechanics in a program he also helped establish in other places, including Cuba.

Today, Tom estimates that he bikes 300–400 kilometres a week. He laps the Queensborough Loop five or six times a week with groups. As an advocate of biking who strongly associates the sport with weight loss, good health, and peace of mind, Tom enjoys sharing his passion with others at Fraser River Bike Tours & Rental. Perhaps even more than relaxed group rides, he likes his power rides. So even on days after he’s led tours, he climbs aboard his two-wheeled steed and begins pedalling without a moment’s hesitation.
