Nick Avis arrived in Victoria Thursday after pedalling from Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. On Friday, he set off for St. John’s, Nfld
Nick Avis gave up a cushy job as a corporate lawyer for what he believes to be the first continuous recorded bicycle journey touching all three Canadian coasts.
On Friday, he had sand on his wheels after a ceremonial dip in the Pacific Ocean, and was appreciating Victoria’s fresh clear air after pedalling through the smoky interior of B.C. Avis is no stranger to epic solo bicycle journeys, having travelled from the Texas/Mexico border to Regina in 2019. Avis said many people have stopped to offer him water, energy drinks, a place to stay or a meal along the way. “Since I started in June, I have only paid for one motel stay and one $10 fee for a campsite,” he said.
“As a lawyer, I care deeply about access to justice and the enforcement of Indigenous rights — causes for which RAVEN is fighting,” he said.
