And who knows, maybe I will learn to ride at some point

Hiking - Alberta. Maybe Hiking = BC. And you're tired of hiking in Scotland, didn't think that would be possible but to each their own.

Still, you should jump on the plane and go 'cus if it doesn't turn out, you can jump back on the plane and head home.

Don't think I imagined it when I went through immigration at Calgary Airport and flashed my passport and citizenship card and I was almost waved on through. "Welcome home sir!" And yes....the guy did actually say that.
Hi, I'm in the same boat and have a Canadian passport as I was born in BC but grew up in the UK. I didn't get one of those citizenship cards though, but it does say Canadian Citizen on the passport

Anyway just go for it mate, you've got nothing to lose, and if it turns out to be a no-go, get on a plane and come back.

You can't compete with getting the government to pay you for doing nothing.
