New Bike Bridge links Richmond, Vancouver
A new $10-million bike and pedestrian route linking Richmond and Vancouver is open now with the grand opening of the Canada Line, Metro Vancouver’s new rapid-transit route.
Cycling Routes
Richmond has an extensive network of both on-street and off-street cycling routes that can connect you to the city’s major attractions and destinations.
Vancouver Cycling
Since 2004, with the implementation of the Downtown Transportation Plan the City has been adding more bicycle lanes on roads in the densely populated downtown core, signalling its desire to encourage greater commuter use of bicycles. Canada census shows that cycling mode share for the City is 3.7% as compared to 1.7% for the Metro Vancouver area. In neighbourhoods such as Point Grey, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant at Grandview Woodlands the cycling mode share can be over 10%. Within the downtown core, the combined walking and cycling mode is as high as 50%. The City of Vancouver is continuing to provide additional racks and other types of Bike Parking. A lack of separated facilities in the downtown core and poor bridge crossings remain as an obstacle to provide facilities that serve the needs of novice and advanced cyclists.
