Vacationing in Vancouver - Need Suggestions! My lady and I are planning a 5 day trip to Vancouver and Victoria next week and are looking for some suggestions on the following:
1. Bike Rentals - we're looking to rent bikes to have for a couple of days. Do any services allowing 24 hr+ bike rental? Is it really expensive?
2. Places to see - We're staying in Gastown in Vancouver and in downtown Victoria taking a ferry between both. Any suggestions on places to visit?
3. Places to eat - my girlfriend is a vegetarian so she has some diet restrictions, but usually can find something on any menu. I'll eat anything delicious you put in front of me. Vegetarian restaurants or just delicious gastro pubs recommendations?

I never go to the Island without renting a car and visiting Goats on the Roof Market. http://www.oldcountrymarket.com/ Long way from Victoria but worth it if you rent a car and I bet your GF will likely find many foods, sauces and spices not to mention clothing. Mine certainly puts a beating into the Mastercard every visit. I am not that fond of Tofino as a town but getting there is as spectacular as anything on the Island and the beaches just out of town are incredible.
