I’ve always been a bit annoyed with the bike-friendly reputation of Vancouver. Yes, it has always had a lot of people on bikes, but for a long time, that came without the installation of much high-quality bike infrastructure.
All that has changed in recent years, so I took a trip recently to see if it was time to update my impression of the city. Check it out.
Correction: The Burrard Bridge bike lane was originally installed in 1996, not 1995 like the video states.
