This modification would be excellent to see at Hemlock/W10th in the upcoming changes around Granville St.

Sad to learn that a cyclist was hit at 12th and Quebec yesterday, day 2 of this detour. I don't know the specifics of what led to that crash, but I sincerely hope we can see some quick action to ensure the local bikeways are a safe travel option - right now they're really not.

Before Covid I would cycle with my young kids to school every morning along the West End Waterfront sea wall bike path (pre-Beach Ave Bikeway) and tell them again and again that this must be the most beautiful bike commute in the world.

Hey #bikeyvr, the Broadway Subway Project people have asked us to remind you to pay attention to the signs and traffic control people on Quebec St between E10th Ave and E8th Ave. Apparently some people are not obeying the "Cyclists Dismount" signs or the other traffic controls.

Broadway is closed between Main and Quebec for four months. The city has done nothing to prevent rat-running on Ontario and 10th Ave bikeways, creating a giant mess. We'll be pressuring council and staff to fix this ASAP. www.youtube.com/shorts/UEfqo...

PSA: Bike detours along 1st Ave. in #Vancouver are still in effect. Signage will redirect cyclists to use the seawall to Ontario St. and then back up E. 1st Ave to Quebec St., while sewer repair work occurs on Quebec St. #ColumbiaStreetSewerRepair

Heads up #bikeyvr, we're seeing reports of many drivers using the 10th Ave bikeway as a way of rat-running around the Broadway closure between Quebec and Main. Let me know if this is causing a problem, photos will help us raise the concern with the city.

The CoV is planning to improve the 10th Ave Bikeway between Fir St and Birch St, including changes to traffic flow (1 way streets) and physical protection in places. This is a very welcome change, particularly at Granville St. #bikeyvr Consultations are open here: vancouver.ca/streets-tran...

Heads-up #bikeyvr: There is (or will be shortly) a significant detour on the Arbutus Greenway at 41st Ave until September 2026. The detour is 1.5 km and you will be detoured to Maple St to cross W41st Ave, which requires climbing That Hill. We'll circulate a map shortly.

Very sad to hear about a fatal hit and run of a cyclist who was riding to work on Westminster Highway today. A really dangerous shoulder on this road, Richmond must do better. (1/2) www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

#bikeyvr The Columbia Sewer Repair team at MV has advised that the west-bound separated bike lane along the north side of E 1st Ave will be closed next week. Details in the next post. 1/2

Heads-up, there have been intermittent (and unapproved as it turns out) closures of the CVG east of Rupert St. The city has stepped in and there should now be a better detour in place. Next week will also see some detours. #bikeyvr

This affects "[...] RadWagon 4, RadCity HS 4, RadRover High Step 5, RadCity Step Thru 3, RadRover Step Thru 1, RadRunner 2, RadRunner 1, RadRunner Plus, and RadExpand 5. The battery model number (HL-RP-S1304 or RP-1304) is printed on a label on the back or rear of the battery." #bikeyvr

More bad news for Rad Bikes. Read the CPSC warning carefully if you own a Rad

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
