Whenever over in Victoria, I usually try and take a few photos of some of the bike projects I’ve had a chance to work on with the City.

If you’ve never biked from the ferry down to Victoria, or around Victoria itself, below are some photos as I’d normally take and a couple of short films…

The City of Victoria on Vancouver Island has done so much in the last decade to enable people of all ages and abilities get around the city by various types of micro mobility that today, it feels close to having Dutch levels of connectivity… And they’re not done yet… I was excited to see Nic’s take on it…

If you find yourself in Victoria, BC before June 30, 2024, head over to Habit Coffee on Pandora Avenue to check out my first Fietspad photo exhibition. Cost of entry… buy some of their great coffee and locally sourced snacks to support this shop doing a great service to the community in hosting such events by local artists… and engineers...

If cargo bike moms and dads are the indicator species of bicycle network safety and connectivity… then Victoria is pretty safe and connected... On this whistle stop tour of some of the city’s bike infrastructure, they were everywhere.
