Despite the hideous cover and dated info, I found this book very helpful for planning our Vancouver island bike tour in 2013.
Island Cycling: A Cycle Camper's Guide to Vancouver Island Paperback – by David Payne, 1996
Highlights for us were:
- Camping at Ruckle Provincial Park
- Cycling Salt Spring Island
- Camping at Newcastle Island Provincial Park
NOTE: the road to Tofino (a great place to visit) is terribly dangerous for cyclists. Very narrow, no shoulder, very steep. There is an awesome passenger ferry from Port Alberni that bypasses the dangerous road and gets you to Ucluelet, most of the way to Tofino.
