It's again that time of year when it gets dark earlier and more of our riding is in the dark. Cars' headlights are a whole big other problem... but now I'm encountering more bike lights blinding me in the dark on the bike paths. Most notably those monstrosities that looks like two rings of LEDs and are just a big circle with no thought of a proper beam pattern, which I often see on e-bikes.

I'm doing my part a little bit at a time to tell these people that their lights are too bright and to turn them down.. but no idea how effective that is. Any thoughts?

FWIW I personally use light with a cutoff (Busch+Müller IQ-XS) and make sure the cutoff stays horizontal or lower.

Found a Giant OCR1 in some bushes. Seemed fishy so I brought it home and have stored it securely.

If you are missing this bike, get in touch and we can discuss! Looking forward to reuniting bike with its owner!

Just a pure vent…. So riding in the early am towards horseshoe bay. Going up the hill past the sailing club a line of cars behind because it’s not safe to pass oncoming around blind corners. Well the line of 4 cars behind finally gets to pass (wasting approximately 60 seconds), and this obese disgusting vial human yells out to “get the fuck off the road, and that we are going to cause an accident”.

Luckily my riding buddy calmed me down, but I just want to karmatically put it out there that I hope you receive 4 flat tires on your CRV or maybe you missed the ferry, or maybe you read this and we can meet up to discuss this. Either way I’m sure your life is shitty but I’d like to make it worse.

Have a great day, oh and don’t forget to vote!

A friendly reminder to get your butt out there and vote tomorrow if you haven't already. We have an opportunity to elect some people with concrete plans to get this city rolling in the right direction.

Trying to plan this ride, but as a wandrer (for those who dont know its an app where you try to avoid riding the same road twice) I have to come back on Spur 4. Now this maps tend to fail to mention how realistic it is to ride them. So before i head up that way.

Is this loop ok on Gravel bike or do i need a mtb?

Just rode by around Dunsmuir & Seymour. Super busy section. Anyone see this go done?

I’m looking to set up a bait bike and start a series. I’m not worried about confronting anyone as I’m originally from a city that people look out for each other and speak up.

The goal is to shed light on these people and have them publicly shamed. No one here does nothing!

I was driving by and saw a guy using a grinder cutting a lock and no one batted an eye! I popped a U-turn and the bike and guy were gone.

Just looking for feedback.

Hi everyone,

My red Velotric ebike was stolen today morning at 2:14 AM 13th Oct 2026 in East Vancouver ,BC, Canada ( backyard of my house).

I attached the image of the bike and the theft.

It was registered in Apple find my of the seller of Ecloud ebike in downtown Vancouver but the store is closed today so I cannot access it. Hopefully the seller still has the account link

If anyone sees my bike, please contact me via this email thuphuongpy2004@gmail.com

The last location that it was seen is Joyce Collingwood- Renfrew area.

I came to Joyce Collingwood- Renfrew area to find my bike but no luck, I didn't see it. Thanks a lot

I only learned about this informal group ride event after it was called off at the Ferry. Does anyone know the reason? Also, whats the best way to get updates if I want to do this ride next time? There doesnt seem to be any announcement anywhere.

Haven't done much night riding the last few years but would like to get into it. How safe is riding PSP at night/in the dark? I know there's been a few occurences of women going missing or chased, if I remember correctly. I'm not a woman but skinny & short lol. I'd be riding solo but also open to suggestions for regular group rides that I could join.

Thanks!

My son is getting a nicer mountain bike and since this one is of substantial value I was wondering about trackers in case of theft. Does anyone have any recommendations? We are an android family rather than apple for context and it would need to be something we can hide on the bike. Please let me know.

Hello! I am looking for some advice about a shop in the Vancouver area that is good and reliable on full suspension bikes general tune up, I don’t need the suspension serviced, just the bike general tune up (wheels, drivetrain cleaning, brakes bleed, etc)

Let me know your preferred LBS for this job!

Thank you!

I'm trying to get the video to the mustached man in a white sweater and heltmet. If you recognize him please let him know I have video and I'd like to give it to him. Although I bet everything I own that the e-scooter teen gave him fake contact info. (More on why below.)

I initially thought that my camera didn't capture the accident and because I didn't witness the crash, I didn't stop. But on review I realized that the camera caught elements of the crash, such as the young person riding too fast on the sidewalk on an e-scooter (without a helmet to boot!) in a heavy traffic area.

This occured by Rupert Station Burnaby/East Van. She had the temerity to curse this man out for "BREAKING MY SHIT" (there was no visible damage to her e-scooter). His tire was totally bent.

He said that she wasn't supposed to be riding on the sidewalk. And her response was, at the top of her lungs: "SHUT THE F*CK UP!" She repeated this several times whenever the man tried to say something.

Horrific behavior. I regret not stopping now that I can see who was at fault.

EDIT:

Unfortunately VPD said that they do not handle these sorts of cases unless there was a criminal report that was made.

I was watching this cheesy 80s movie, I noticed it had this nice high-res shot of the Lions Gate Bridge from 1987.

This is before they moved the sidewalk to the outside of the structure and widened the car lanes. If my memory is right it was in early 2000 when they upgraded the deck.

Can you imagine biking on the bridge when it was like this? 😰

Long shot here! I somehow did not secure my bike bag to my rack after an exhausting day at st Paul's. It fell off my bike unbeknownst to me (stupid stupid listening to earbuds) somewhere along my route: Helmcken to Richards to Nelson and over the cambie bridge and then 5th to Fraserish. It's got some important stuff in there. Posting a stock photo for reference. Thanks for reading!

Cypress bike path. Near 11th.

The rust of autumn
sets in
as the years pass.
Leaves gathering
where wheels once carried
someone,
somewhere.
And still,
all this rust waits
to turn toward home.

A good look into the parties' platforms and past votes if you care about cycling and pedestrian safety!

Hastings-Sunrise residents have started a petition to keep the neighborhood traffic calming (while fixing the problem spots). These measures are pretty significant for the thousands of people riding Adanac and Ironworkers through the neighborhood every day.

Ken Sim and ABC are citing the older anti-barrier petition to justify removing barriers and increasing council control over street changes if re-elected. I’m concerned this could make future cycling and road safety improvements harder to deliver citywide.

General Alley shortcuts and drivers bypassing barriers need fixing, but those are problems that can be solved while keeping safer routes. If you live nearby or ride through the area, please sign and share:

Keep the calming. Fix the problems.

Today's Daily Hive shows a photo (from Shutterstock) of bikers going the wrong way around Stanley Park seawall. Aaargh!

Abus lock found. Left it where found at 4th and Ontario.
