Per capita Vancouver's official rate of commuter cycling is about the same as Montreal and about 50% better than Toronto. However Victoria's per capita rate is almost three times higher than Montreal or Vancouver and more than five times higher than Toronto. The Galloping Goose cycling route in Victoria is a major factor in its success, plus the exceptionally mild climate and compact nature of the capitol region.

With all the public transportation improvements in Metro Vancouver and new cycling infrastructure in the City of Vancouver the next census should be interesting.
