Visitor Question: Bicycling in Courtenay/Comox Valley?

John — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:22:46 +0000

Question: I’m planning on moving to Courtenay (or somewhere within the Comox Valley) and for the most part I prefer to get around by bike.
How is Courtenay and the Valley for commuting by bike.

I recall reading somewhere that the Comox Valley has the second most bicycle commuters in Canada (behind Victoria) so I’m just wondering how it is there.

Why is Comox a town while Courtenay a city? Is there any shopping mall in this area? Does the Comox valley lack cultural diversity? What is it about this place that is so appealing?
