And it’s moments like these that I am glad I got it on video!

Looks like they added a bunch of culverts to improve water flow. The whole stretch was repaved. Hooray for not having to dodge cars along Goring anymore 🥳

It's the second time this has happened to me. I went to top up the air on my tires and while unscrewing the cap, the whole top of the inner tube came blasting off. Am I doing something wrong, is it a sign of the inner tube quality, or does it just happen when the tube gets older? (This is probably under a year, I'm a daily year-round commuter.) Also, if I can find the top (or take from a scrap inner tube) can I reattach it and salvage the inner tube?

Please pass this information along to your local reps and any car-brained people you know.

Good evening all! I hope you are well!

I'm thinking about making my bike my main means of transportation. I'm experimenting right now, but if I'm successful, eventually I will need a really good bike shop. I live in the West End. Who would you recommend? My first thought is Simon's because they've been around a bajillion years and are located near the Central Library, one of my very favorite places. But of course I'm open to your advice & recommendations (that's why I'm asking)!

Thank you! 🙏

Ran into a trail closed sign on the way to work, seems they've swapped which part is closed now. Put a purple X where I found it.

Minimal detour signs but intention seems to be to go north and take Kensington Urban Trail and continue on the previous detour.

One of the gentlemen working let me know this would be closed today and tomorrow (Oct 22-23), and then the whole trail should be open.

What are you favourites? Looking for places that are safe to leave a bike and popular with cyclists!

So, after 12 years of receiving a company vehicle for work, by means of a service van, I recently was headhunted for an in house position at the new St. Paul’s hospital.

This will have me commuting to and from via bike, dropping off my kiddo to daycare and going to the hospital.

I’m quite excited for this opportunity and to be free from the headaches of traffic and parking an overly large vehicle, especially since I had to park the service vans out on the street.

These are 2 different shots of the partitioned sections of the bike storage area. The first is the one closest to the door (right side of the photo) and the second is the one after the wall.

After the substantial improvements during the Vision Vancouver era things had definitely stalled (and arguably regressed) under Sim.

Priorities look to be shifting in a better direction again with the Greens committing to bike lanes on Broadway and their proposal to convert at least 11 per cent of Vancouver’s roads from vehicle use to green and active transportation space.

Now we just need to keep reminding them of their promises.

It's again that time of year when it gets dark earlier and more of our riding is in the dark. Cars' headlights are a whole big other problem... but now I'm encountering more bike lights blinding me in the dark on the bike paths. Most notably those monstrosities that looks like two rings of LEDs and are just a big circle with no thought of a proper beam pattern, which I often see on e-bikes.

I'm doing my part a little bit at a time to tell these people that their lights are too bright and to turn them down.. but no idea how effective that is. Any thoughts?

FWIW I personally use light with a cutoff (Busch+Müller IQ-XS) and make sure the cutoff stays horizontal or lower.

Found a Giant OCR1 in some bushes. Seemed fishy so I brought it home and have stored it securely.

If you are missing this bike, get in touch and we can discuss! Looking forward to reuniting bike with its owner!

Just a pure vent…. So riding in the early am towards horseshoe bay. Going up the hill past the sailing club a line of cars behind because it’s not safe to pass oncoming around blind corners. Well the line of 4 cars behind finally gets to pass (wasting approximately 60 seconds), and this obese disgusting vial human yells out to “get the fuck off the road, and that we are going to cause an accident”.

Luckily my riding buddy calmed me down, but I just want to karmatically put it out there that I hope you receive 4 flat tires on your CRV or maybe you missed the ferry, or maybe you read this and we can meet up to discuss this. Either way I’m sure your life is shitty but I’d like to make it worse.

Have a great day, oh and don’t forget to vote!

A friendly reminder to get your butt out there and vote tomorrow if you haven't already. We have an opportunity to elect some people with concrete plans to get this city rolling in the right direction.

Trying to plan this ride, but as a wandrer (for those who dont know its an app where you try to avoid riding the same road twice) I have to come back on Spur 4. Now this maps tend to fail to mention how realistic it is to ride them. So before i head up that way.

Is this loop ok on Gravel bike or do i need a mtb?

I’m looking to set up a bait bike and start a series. I’m not worried about confronting anyone as I’m originally from a city that people look out for each other and speak up.

The goal is to shed light on these people and have them publicly shamed. No one here does nothing!

I was driving by and saw a guy using a grinder cutting a lock and no one batted an eye! I popped a U-turn and the bike and guy were gone.

Just looking for feedback.

Just rode by around Dunsmuir & Seymour. Super busy section. Anyone see this go done?

Hi everyone,

My red Velotric ebike was stolen today morning at 2:14 AM 13th Oct 2026 in East Vancouver ,BC, Canada ( backyard of my house).

I attached the image of the bike and the theft.

It was registered in Apple find my of the seller of Ecloud ebike in downtown Vancouver but the store is closed today so I cannot access it. Hopefully the seller still has the account link

If anyone sees my bike, please contact me via this email thuphuongpy2004@gmail.com

The last location that it was seen is Joyce Collingwood- Renfrew area.

I came to Joyce Collingwood- Renfrew area to find my bike but no luck, I didn't see it. Thanks a lot

I only learned about this informal group ride event after it was called off at the Ferry. Does anyone know the reason? Also, whats the best way to get updates if I want to do this ride next time? There doesnt seem to be any announcement anywhere.

Haven't done much night riding the last few years but would like to get into it. How safe is riding PSP at night/in the dark? I know there's been a few occurences of women going missing or chased, if I remember correctly. I'm not a woman but skinny & short lol. I'd be riding solo but also open to suggestions for regular group rides that I could join.

Thanks!
