Freak Maps makes map books using professional GIS Cartography. Their “Mountain Bike Vancouver Island” book has been a popular item with mountain bikers, and a great stocking stuffer that routinely sells out this time of year.

They’ve been working on a new “Family Trails” book, and we’re pleased to announce that it’s been released and we have it in stock. This bike has maps and information for great family bike rides for all over Greater Victoria and Cobble Hill. The information provided is superb, with details such as playgrounds, picnic tables, viewpoints, drinking water, public toilets, and so much more along the way. Whether it’s the Galloping Goose, the Colquitz River Trail, Colwood Creek Park, Royal Roads University, or one of dozens of local rides, this book has you covered. The book costs $19.99 and is a great size for taking with you on the trail.
