It is a very long way from Vancouver to Peru, but both us did just that! We did not take our bicycles, but in Arequipa Dave rented a mountain bike, and took a ride down Mt Misti!  Here is Dave about to set off and a photo of Old Arequipa taken towards the end of the ride:

We did not go to South America just for this, but went to the Galapogos Islands, Machu Picchu and Bolivia, but not being bicycle related, those stories and photos are on Facebook!
