Bike ride out to Iona Island

For the first time in months, after reinflating my tyres, I jumped astride my bike and went for a ride. After spotting people walking around on the beach at the edge of the Vancouver airport, I figured it would be a good place to explore and ride around on (especially since it looked flat!). It also gave me the opportunity to cross the north arm of the Fraser River on the relatively new pedestrian and cycling bridge, which I am happy to report was a pleasure. Although I took a slightly roundabout route through Richmond to get to Iona Island, there were some interesting photographic subjects on the way.
