Stanley Park mobility study is out. Removal of bike lane resulted in: way more speeding, no extra parking revenue (so much for the argument that the lane was removing parking access), fewer people cycling, more crowding on the seawall. Surprising NO ONE (1/3)

Last week I got the chance to visit the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in modern day America. Come with me as I explore @culdesac — a 17-acre oasis of walkable living in the otherwise sprawling, car-dependent metropolis of Phoenix. 🧵

Bravo to our @TheBicycleValet team! 🚲

Hear from some of our friends who came to the first Living Streets walk at Burnaby Mountain 🍂

Fun fact, Our Community Bikes and BEST share a long history together 👯🤝 BEST was formed in 1991 by a group of passionate cyclists who two years later opened Vancouver’s first DIY bike store that has since transformed into the @OCB1993 we know and love today 💓

Mark your calendars! 🗓️ The Living Streets team is excited to announce our Autumn Strolls happening from October to November. Grab a friend or come as you are to meet new ones this season 🍂 Sign up for a walk⬇️ best.bc.ca/autumn-strolls @TransLink @diwalifest @sfugradsociety

Reconciliation begins with education and we want to acknowledge that BEST operates on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Learn more for yourself ⬇️ linktr.ee/bestmobility

Just a quick shoutout to @BESTmobility for delivering efficiency at an absolutely slammed Bike Valet service at car-free day on Main yesterday. Even as we headed home in the early evening, folks wanting to park their bikes could only get a spot once we left with ours.

Thank you to our patrons for their ongoing support, we are always looking for ways to improve our services!

The people love the Steveston bike valet! Leave the car at home and park your bike, e-bike, or e-scooter securely for free in the cannery parking lot on weekends and holidays from 10-6 until Labour Day! Thanks to @StevestonHA, @TransLink, @VisitRichmondBC, & @BESTmobility
