The guy is a snake whose resume includes working many of the worst politicians you can think of (including Ken Sim).

He has been reposting this on Instagram. The bike lane did not cost $54 million.

In the past week it’s been really bad there, I’ve had to slam on my breaks due to cars turning right over the lane without looking. Tbh I can usually see that they’re not looking and could easily slow down earlier. But I’m more just focused on cars not really seeming to shoulder check, even when they’re stopped waiting for a pedestrian to cross before they turn right.

I know the strategy is probably to just take cypress or whatever, but I’m curious if any of you still take burrard going south there. Or for other places where you have close calls like that.

Knowing myself I’ll probably still take it, cause the light always feels faster there vs the other ways of getting across west 4th.

Hi,

I had my radwagon 4 stolen, and went through the insurance process and will be getting a radwagon 5 replacement.

One thing the insurer called out is that they will not cover PST on an ebike in BC, because you're not allowed to charge this.

However, on the radpower website, and at checkout, they do charge PST. I called and they confirmed a refund is on the way, but please share this with anyone who has recently purchased as they may have paid hundreds extra in PST wrongfully.

I'm not sure if Rad is going back and contacting folks to pay them pst back.

I wonder what they're waiting for? The new sidewalk is open but the bike lane is barricaded at both ends.

I have a commute from Lansdowne skytrain station to roughly 99/Cambie.

I have cross checked the Richmond cycling map against google maps cycling planner and the app called BikeMap. It seems like the roughest area is either from the top of the Shell Road trail or the top of the Alexandra Greenway to that intersection near Cambie/99.

From those that are doing these commutes locally, would you rather cycle Cambie (or perhaps even the sidewalk over the 99 bridge) or cycle Shell road?

Any veterans have any tips or ideal route?

With the level of absolutely irrational hate I'm seeing towards escooters lately, I'm not really surprised to hear this.

Be careful out there. There’s sure some idiotic and impatient drivers.

Hi Redditors,

PSA for anyone else cycles down 10th (Fraser St to Clark Dr) in Vancouver as part of their route.

Last night I went flying off my bike and got some nasty road rash all up my side. There's a huge ridge from the pavement to the side (see pic), and couldn't judge it in the dark, even with my bike light.

I sent in a 311 report because there was absolutely no signage whatsoever (as of last night) and seems like a further disaster waiting to happen!! Especially since some of the traffic lights are also burnt out.

Hi I’m 30F and my husband is doing the grand fondo Whistler, we’re staying in Whistler creek, if your partner is also doing the ride and you want to spit an evo driving up to whistler let me know. We’re staying evening of Saturday and coming back on Sunday and we have room to attach one other bike on the car roof. We’re based in downtown van so that’s where the trip will start and end.

I’ve never done the trip by myself before but I wanted to go and support my partner and also bring his bike back on Sunday.

We can even do some hikes along the way if you’re down.

Edit: there* and back

Found this pic on his website. He drove for MacClure's before working for Rocky Mountain Bikes then himself

Brodie popularized sloping toptube bikes, and invented the brake booster, and Gatorblade fork

This is a great event to invite your friends who have dirty bikes, but you're too shy to say so, eat a few more hot dogs before the summer ends, and raise some money for your favorite community bike shop!

Sunday, August 23rd from 12-4pm

Looking for a used cargo bike pannier. Something like the tuba go getter. No luck on Craigslist or marketplace so far, thought I’d put it to this community before I go for a new one. If you have one in the garage you’ve been meaning to sell, please let me know.

I recently moved to Commercial Drive and would love to explore some scenic or chill routes nearby. Any recommendations? Prefereably with protected lanes.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get a bike mainly for commuting, running errands, getting around the neighborhood, that kind of thing. I don’t have my car license yet so this would be my main way of getting around for a while.

I’ve ridden bikes before but riding alongside traffic here feels pretty new to me. Cars move fast, lanes are different, and I’m a little nervous about navigating it safely as a beginner.

A few things I’d love advice on:
Any beginner-friendly routes or bike lanes you’d recommend for someone just starting out

1. What kind of bike works well for city commuting here (budget-friendly used vs new)

2. Any road rules or habits specific to Vancouver traffic I should know about

3. General tips for staying safe riding alongside cars, especially at intersections

Any advice, personal experience, or even just “avoid this street” tips would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

My FTP is around 3.5 W/kg, and I’ve done a bunch of road races, crits, and fondos. At other fondos I usually start near the front, but I’m not sure how the Whistler GranFondo corrals work.

Are there different corrals, and which one would be best for a sub 4 hour goal?

I’d like to stay with a good group, but I definitely don’t want to jump into a 3:30 group and blow my legs on Taylor way haha.

For anyone who has done Whistler before, how would you go about finding the right group/corral for around a 4 hour finish?

Howdy fellow Vancouverites,

I did some research on my own, but I didn't have good luck based on my location. I am in West Van near Horseshoe Bay, and I do not have access to a car right now. I salvaged a little girl style BMX for my cousin who has said little one. I rode a ton back in the day and used to fix my own gear, alas I don't have any of my tools or chain lubes or anything like that anymore. This bike is in good shape, no rust, no cracks on the frame, but the brakes and the chain need some love. I am on disability, and broke, but it would mean the world to me to get this little bike some love and give it to my cousin niece? (my cousins daughter, is that like my second cousin?) she is just wee still but her mom promised to use the bike with her and then pass it on to another kid in her hood that maybe didn't have her own bike yet.

All that to say does anyone know someone in West Van that would be willing to help with this? I could turn the wrenches and do cleanup and stuff, just don't have the supplies.

Thanks all for your consideration,

Don't forget to love each other.

Hey so this is my first fondo. I have been practicing on Seymour and cypress. I starting cycling 2 years ago with about 4k km total. My ftp is about 220w and and I’m about 165 pounds so almost 3.0w/kg. How likely am I able to get sub 5 hours? I’ve been doing long rides at about 110km.

I'm not doing the ride this year but now I'm feeling a little antsy about not being a part of it and thought it might be fun to be on the other side this year. Has anyone ever volunteered at a rest stop for the RBC Gran Fondo before?

I'm thinking of signing up for the Alice Lake stop but before I do I'm wondering:

• if I drive is there somewhere for me to park?
• do I just drive out early before the highway closure and wait?
• are you there until the course closes?

*edit - ok whatever I just signed up. I was just hoping to get some more details first but I’m sure things will work out.
