Biking enthusiasts can cycle most of Quadra
Island on roads and trails. The south end
roads are relatively level, with a couple of
long steep hills. The north end is definitely
challenging, best for the fit, with countless
hills and curves. Mountain bikers will find
an endless network of off-road trails to ride.
