I ride my bike to work from West Vancouver to South Vancouver almost every day. Cycling gives me the opportunity to be outside in the fresh air taking advantage of the city’s natural beauty and amazing cycling infrastructure.
I can not believe how many people are out on bikes doing the same thing as me. I also can not believe how fit and strong so many of Vancouver’s cyclists are. Our cyclists are truly a testament to Vancouver’s unique culture.
Over the next year I am going to write about the cool things that I see as I am out and about in Vancouver on a bike!
For years I have advocated on behalf of cyclists, and fought for cycling rights. Lately, I’ve seen an increase in negative attitudes and aggression against cyclists.
One of the indirect effects of COVID-19 is that it has propelled us outside more. We are walking, running, hiking and biking like never before.
More than 2 million bikes are stolen across North America every year! Project 529 is trying to change that, and has reduced bike theft by more than 50% in some cities.
Back when I really started taking cycling seriously, if you mentioned the term “protected bike lanes” it was sure to incite a debate.
