Cycling to Tofino
Cycling
to Tofino is a great way to get here and once in Tofino the roads are safe and
a separated bike/walking/skating path is a welcome addition. While Highway 4
has some really nice sections with wide shoulders and smooth pavement other sections
are rough and have no shoulder. It can be very tight with the traffic.
One smart and enjoyable suggestion I heard from some touring cyclists in Tofino is to ride to Port Alberni then take the Lady Rose boat to Ucluelet. Cycling up to Tofino from Ucluelet is a great 30 km ride with bike paths in both villages and a pleasant road between them.
