The VULC monthly meeting was at a weird time (7:15pm) at Creekside CC and wow, y'all turned UP! We had a full house and a good crowd on Zoom too. We take December off, but put January 16th into your calendar -- that's when the next one will be (but online only). #bikeyvr

It's the third Tuesday of the month! You know what that means: the monthly VULC meeting! Note the later start time: 7:15pm. In-person or on Zoom, see our groups.io site for details. #bikeyvr

The Vancouver budget will be devastating to services so many rely upon and to the hardworking employees delivering them, but here's one tiny sliver of good news: the scheme to spend millions to widen Beach Avenue and tear out the bike lane appears to have been dropped from the Capital Plan!

PSA: Work on the Columbia St. Sewer Repair project is continuing this week and into next week. The bike detour and 1st Ave. bike lane closure (between Quebec and Columbia) is still in effect. Learn more at https://metrovancouver.org/services/liquid-waste/columbia-street-sewer-repair

Scenes from tonight's Bike the Night! @wearehub.bsky.social @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social #bikeyvr

There's a ride today in support of cycling in Stanley Park, hosted by @tomdigby1.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social . 2pm, meet at the Park Board office at 2099 Beach Ave. SPLoop after speeching. Treat it as a warm-up ride for Bike the Night (starts at 5pm, first ride at 6:30pm) #bikeyvr

CORRECTION: Huge events are OPENING UP Metro Vancouver roads this weekend to people from all segments of our society.

PSA: Periodic lane closures on Denman St. at Georgia St. in #Vancouver for the Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project from 7 AM - 8 PM until Oct. 21, 2025. Temporary traffic pattern changes & detours will be in place for people cycling. Stay up to date on the project at metrovancouver.org

We also wrote a letter recently following up on the city's inaction addressing safety concerns at Clark Dr/10th Ave. wiki.bikehub.ca/images/e/ea/... #bikeyvr cc: @visionzerovancouver.ca

Man speaks out after brother hit by car while cycling in Kitsilano

Here is our official response to the Park Board on the Stanley Park Mobility Study final report (pdf): wiki.bikehub.ca/images/c/c1/... #bikeyvr

It's actually two six-storey parkades which are somehow supposed to alleviate traffic in the park rather than induce it and what are we even doing here, folks vancouversun.com/news/local-n...

PB Commissioner Tom Digby @tomdigby1.bsky.social will be bringing forward an amendment to the Stanley Park Mobility Study report that we very much support: a partial return of the temporary bike lane! #bikeyvr dailyhive.com/vancouver/st...

So what can YOU do? First, you can join the Vancouver Green Party on a ride in support of cycling in Stanley Park on Saturday, Sept 13th, 2pm at the Park Board office at 2099 Beach Ave #bikeyvr 1/5

The Stanley Park Mobility Study has been released, and the VULC is quite disappointed at its contents. While we support improving bus service in the park, nothing in the report will make cycling safer or more accessible in the near future. #bikeyvr 1/8

🚨 Important call to action! (1/5) 🚨 A vote on Stanley Park is coming to the Park Board on Sept 15. The staff report calls for working with TransLink to bring bus service around the park (great!!) but no bike lane, despite it being the favourite option among respondents. Report linked here:

After 3 years, the Stanley Park Mobility Study has been released. You can read it here: parkboardmeetings.vancouver.ca/2025/2025091... It is very, very underwhelming. A return of a separated bike lane is contemplated, but not specifically recommended, in the 7-15 year timeframe. #bikeyvr 1/4

Volunteer opportunities abound! We're looking for volunteers for a biking booth at Dutch Street Market, on Granville St, Sept 1st and also for car-free days Sept 6th (Commercial Dr) and 14th (Main St). See hubcycling.groups.io/g/vancouver-... for details. #bikeyvr

Even more solid evidence that speed cameras work! "Howard said he hopes reduced speeds in these zones will encourage more children to walk to school, helping to foster a habit of daily physical activity in their lives, which decreases many health risks in old age."

All the experts agree: bike lanes make roads safer for everyone, including drivers. And they reduce congestion. Why are Houston and Fillmore so out of touch with the facts?

Right on red was only introduced during the 1970s OPEC crisis as a fuel-saving measure. Turns out it doesn't save fuel, and instead is SUPER dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians! We should get rid of it everywhere! Source: www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/right-t...

Passing cyclists on rural roads while driving can be tricky. I've been both the driver and the cyclist countless times. On a recent trip to San Juan Island, I was passenger in a car as we came up on a group of riders on a narrow road. Here's how I coached the driver to pass them safely...

This. Is. Huge. It appears that the judge saved the bike lanes because they found that: -removing the bike lanes would reduce the safety of cyclists, going against the charter of rights and freedoms -removing the bike lanes would worsen congestion, going against the removal's stated purpose

For over a year, Granville Bridge has been a construction zone with a 30km/h speed limit 24/7. So do drivers actually drive the limit? We took our speed radar gun to find out. The answer will probably.... not surprise you youtube.com/shorts/G31re...

As of 2pm today, the Granville Connector is open, safely connecting 5th/Fir (and the Arbutus Greenway) with downtown over the Granville St Bridge. Go give it a ride! #bikeyvr

The new greenway/bike lane near my apartment is finally opened😁🚲 it's on Saint George between 5th and Broadway in Vancouver ... Only the block closest to Broadway is still under construction. Since this is the direction I take to work, I'm happy about it, even though it's only a few blocks long!

Thread on /r/Vancouver claiming the Granville Street Connector will be open by day's end tomorrow. This hasn't been officially announced by the City yet. However, you should not be surprised if, indeed, this is the case. #bikeyvr

The Nanaimo Area Cycling Coalition is now recruiting volunteer committee members. Have an impact on cycling in the greater Nanaimo Area today! Consider joining a Local Committee today!

Attention separated bike lanes on bridges enthusiasts: the thing that might have happened on July 26th will NOT be happening and we're back to "some time in the near future". #iykyk #bikeyvr

A photo from the Galiano-Tsawwassen ferry by @canspice.bsky.social that illustrates just how much road space cars occupy compared to pedestrians and cyclists. Imagine how much more we could do with existing road space if our transportation networks prioritized people over cars!

The new cycling path through Kits Beach is really great and a huge improvement! Cyclist and pedestrian space is clearly separated and delineated, helping keep everyone safe and enjoying their time. Great job by the city.
