Fraser River Bike Tours & Rental

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.

The Groupon Guide to: A Rendezvous with Your Bosom Buddy

A happenstance rendezvous with a beloved bosom buddy can be the spoonful of sugar in an otherwise unseemly world. Here are some best-to-be-heeded tips to making the most out of an encounter with your beloved companions:

  • Make sure to bring plenty of nibbles for both you and your chumly bud’s tummies. Some teatime sandwiches like some Cucumber Babyfingers or Little Ham Lords should do, and why not some salted fudge for after-meal yums?

  • Appreciate nature with your cherished accomplice. Enjoy an après-lunch learnabout through an educational garden or listen to the songs of the whippoorwills. Just try not to cry at their resplendent beauty.

  • Take your prized pal for a ride in your coupe. Adhere to the speed limits to avoid a talking-to and bring a taffeta scarf for you and your sweet compatriot.

  • Play the harp together!

  • It would just be velvet-on-vicars to watch the Sunday football match with your prince of friends, would it not? I think the Chiefs really have a chance this year if Cassel can show up and Jamaal Charles can’t bounce back from his surgery. It’s gonna be a bruiser…

Here’s how to be a big weirdo.
