CYCLING
 The warm weather in the Lower Mainland, especially Abbotsford, is ideal for cyclists to train and to compete as well. When it comes to climate, no other town, city or province can match Abbotsford. The Canadian Cycling Association and Cycling BC are two associations that work closely to develop present and future riders. Abbotsford is aiming to the host future cycling events, tournaments and championships.
