A cycling in blue and black jacket, wearing a white helmet, rides along the paved Seawall cycle path next to Burrard Inlet. Above them is a canopy of pink cherry blossoms on branches. Across the water is an industrial area at the base of the north shore mountains that have a dusting of snow across the top
